Hi,
As that I am the only user on my laptop, I do not really care how the secrets
are being stored. :-)
My home wireless does not have any WEP or WPA and strangely enough I can't
edit this connection. The error message shows :
nm-settings-connection.c.690 - Connection didn't have requested setting
'802-11-wireless-security'.
However my biggest issue is that I can not activate connections shown by the
Plasmoid. I even tried to have a new one created by deleting the old
connection, but it just simple doesn't work. Only those connections that will
automatically become active, are working.
I don't know what version of NM you all are running, however the openSUSE NM
0.8.999 (RC2) is showing this behaviour.
I have already updated to the latest version and I know 100% for sure that all
connections are system-based ones.
Please let me know what kind of information is required, but at this moment
Fedora's solution with their compatibility libs for NM0.9 worked better than
this one.
Please do not get me wrong. I think you all are doing a terrific job and I
wish that I could help out with coding. Unfortunately I am not a coder, but I
hope that I can contribute with test results, etc.
