networkmanager problem

I cannot make networkmanager and its gnome frontend connect to my WEP wireless network.

Relevant (AFAIK) sections in rc.conf are as follows

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
ath0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !ath0)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network crond sshd dbus hal netfs !acpid powernowd powersaved alsa dhcdbd 
networkmanager gdm)

/etc/conf.d/wireless is entirely commented out.

I can without any problems make my laptop connect with a following script (provided the network daemon is enabled before)

#!/bin/bash
iwconfig ath0 essid [essid]
iwconfig ath0 key [key]
dhclient ath0

Wireless card is Atheros AR5212.

Ubuntu 7.04 and its networkmanager worked without any issues.

I followed the wiki entry, but no success. Any clues what may be happening?

I have no clue but I suggest you try with wifi-radar.

Re: networkmanager problem

I think you need to have dhcdbd in the DAEMONS array before networkmanager. Last time I looked at the networkmanager script, it didn't start dhcdbd by itself.
