Hello,
I’m trying now for several weeks to get my wireless started – without success. The „wheel“ of nm is turning, it tries to get a connection, but fails.
Message of nm says:
*** Message: <info> New secrets for Auto Waldschrat/802-11-wireless-security requested; ask the user*
and Message-Box opens with request: Secrets required by wireless network – encryption and password requested - ok, I give it – but no connection
I use wpa-psk.
