wifi wpa

Hello everybody, I've got a problem with wpa. At university we use edoruam network which uses wpa encoding. Through plasma widget in KDE I can find this network fill in all required information about security in a form but it doesn't connect (it fails at authorization). I would like to use some gui for connecting and not wpa_supplicant.conf file. So I tried wpa_gui but there I can't see a network card. I have read some articles how to configure it but the result is that I am confused more than before.
Connection to non secured networks works ok.

Does anybody knows where the problem can be?
I have HP ProBook 4710s, network card: bcm 4312, driver: b43, and 64bit Arch

Re: wifi wpa

It works through netcfg now, althought it didn't before. I have blackmailed networkmanager in DAEMONS so network widget in KDE shows no connections. I would like to control everything from this widget but I am very carefull (so glad that it is woking now).

Does anybody know how to do that?

Look in the wiki - there is a Qt frontend for netcfg iirc.

Re: wifi wpa

It's not working again. It seems that it was just luck before.
It always fails at authorization.
In Ubuntu with networkmanager it worked correctly.

Isn't there anybody with the same or similar problem who has succesfully solved it?

Hi:

Uninstall Knetworkmanager and install Wicd. Knet is unstable and early developed software. Wicd runs very well.

Bye
