can't get my wifi to connect...

[znmeb]

I've got the same thing here on 11.2 RC1 KDE (64-bit, HP Pavilion dv4 with a Broadcom card). It has successfully connected to an unsecured network with spaces in the SSID and a WPA network without spaces in the SSID. The WEP network I'm trying to connect to has a space in the SSID.

I tried the "ifup" connection and that didn't work either. So I am blocked until I can get to a wired network and install more software (typing this from *Windows*).

Is this in Bugzilla? If not, why not?

Probably because you have not entered it. I can connect with RC1 KDE
or Gnome, NetworkManager, and a Broadcom card to networks with WEP,
WPA, WPA2, and no encryption, thus I'm not sure what your problem is.
I have not done it with a space in the SSID, but that should not be a
problem.
