Connection to wireless network

[Daniel Tihelka]

Hallo everybody,

I would like to ask you to two, hopefully simple, questions.

The first question is about how knetworkmanager (kNM) is supposed to react, 
when I click to an encrypted wireless network in the main kNM applet window 
(left click to kNM icon, window showing the wired network, wireless networks 
with signal strengths, settins, etc.; then choose a network according to 
ESSID and left click to it). I supposed that a dialog should appear which 
allows to set WPA/WEP related stuff (depending on encryption, recognized by 
NM). Or must be connection and parameters setting to encrypted wireless 
network set in a different way? When "connect to other wireless network" 
setting is chosen, kNM shows dialog for ESSID, passphrase and other stuff to 
set.


The next issue appears, when I stared knetworkmanager from command line, the 
following message appeared:

Error requesting name, org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: 
Connection ":1.15" is not allowed to own the 
service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the 
configuration file

However, knetwormanager still communicates with NM. Is it bug or just bad 
setting? Wher to look to correct it? The true is that 'make install' may 
forgot to set something in /etc/udev.d/ or wherever.

Thank you very much,
Dan
