Thanks for the report.

Please ttach the output of lscpidrake -v and also the log of syslog:

you can use tail -f /var/log/syslog then retry to connect and copy paste.

Comment 3 Jan Pihlgren 2011-10-11 05:00:11 CEST
I tried a lot more with 2 different wifi network and discover:
I can't do a configuration for more than one (1) network.
When I try to configure the second network it will change the cryptokey.

For now I can use a wifi-network with WEP but not a wifi-network with WPA.
I have the keys for both networks.

For me it loks like that for some reason its difficult to do setup for mor than one network.

When I used Mandriva 2010.2 that was no problem, I had configured 3 different wifi-network.
