In opensuse KDE 12.3, when I attempt to connect to a wifi router that has a physical WPS button, with the password and WPS pin unchanged, Network manager will not connect, and instead Continuously throws up dialogs prompting me to enter my keychain password, and then it asks me to re-enter the password, which I’ve checked multiple times and it is not entered incorrectly. I’ve also tried the WPS pin number as well, to no avail. After it prompts me to enter the password again, it goes through the steps to connect to the router, and then it prompts for the keychain password and the network password again. From what I’ve experienced with WICD, on my Slackware laptop is that the router requires me to select WPA2 preshared key, in order to connect to the router. I’ve gone through network manager’s settings and I cannot seem to find anything specifying a WPA2 PSK and all I find is WPA2 home. Am I missing something while looking, or is there really a lack of PSK support in network manager? If so, I’ll be installing WICD, if not, please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
What’s the networkcard? Please post output of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
