The kernel was updated (3.1.0-46.1) this week-end and the ability to
authenicate the dongle (Huawei E585) was lost.
After several re-boots and resetting of the dongle and wireless link, authentication of the dongle
was not possible.
The wireless interface worked to networks if no authentication was required.
Assumption: Password handling had been currupted.
A network connection via a stick (Huawei E1752CU) was attempted.
The stick was recognised by the system but logon details not completed.
On the next attempt via the Huawei E585, access was instantly available and much faster than before.
Any ideas why plugging in the Huawei E1752CU changed the system response?

Same problem after upgrading the kernel to Linux 2.6.37.6-0.9-desktop x86_64. Networkmanager does not detect security mode (WEP in my case). It shows no security and, of course, does not connect.

Sorry to hear you hit the same problem.
My assumption is, the cache for password and encription is not being updated.
I was hoping someone would know how to force this to happen.
In my case, deleting the wireless link rebooting, and establishing a new link
did not solve anything. But inserting a usb-dongle did.
Same question remains, why? What did inserting a usb-dongle do?

You should ask in the tumbleweed forum.

I have reinstalled the kernel from disk and that fixed the problem. I’ll see what 12.1 does when the version comes out next week.
