Knetworkmanager hangs at 28%

I've been trying out kdemod on a different computer using the iwl4965 intel wireless card. However, when I try to connect with knetworkmanager, it hangs on 28%, configuring device. Is there something set up wrong or is there a problem with the program. It is a password pretected network with a HEX key if it matters and I am choosing those options in the program.

rc.conf

Re: Knetworkmanager hangs at 28%

That doesn't look like it will work because it is a hex key and can only be so many characters long.

Re: Knetworkmanager hangs at 28%

When you use knetwork manager, you don't need to use any of arch's wireless configuration files.  I have all those commented out.  Check the wiki article, there's instructions in there.

Wouldn't you still need the wireless one so it knows wlan0 is a wireless device?

Re: Knetworkmanager hangs at 28%

clear away /etc/conf.d/wireless, your rc.conf is alright.

aside from that, which i'm pretty sure of, this is either a device driver issue or KNM's lack of ability to deal with some kinds of secure wireless.

Re: Knetworkmanager hangs at 28%

It's knetworkmanger's fault. I'm at my college right now and was able to connect just fine. Is there a package you need for WEP keys in general?
