NetworkManager wifi problem

Post by fawad »

AOA,
I'm having a hard time connecting to my wireless network using NetworkManager. If I do the following from the commandline, it connects very nicely.
sudo /sbin/rmmod zd1211rw
sudo /sbin/modprobe zd1211rw
sudo /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid myap
sudo /sbin/dhclient eth1
When I connect using NetworkManager, I keep getting these messages in the log
SoftMAC: Start scanning with channel: 1
SoftMAC: Scanning 11 channels
SoftMAC: Scanning finished
SoftMAC: Already associating or associated to 00:0d:88:ac:a7:f9
Can you tell what could be going wrong?

AOA,
Thanks for the links. However, as is probably apparent from the commandline I said does work, the access point is open, so doesn't use WPA. Can I tell what commands NetworkManager is issuing when I connect using it?
