Problem with NetworkManager
Hi there,
Im trying now for several days to get connected to my wlan-networks over NetworkManager and knetworkmanager.
I have installed dhclient, dhcdbd, wpa_supplicant NetworkManager and knetworkmanager.
Here is the output of the console while trying to connect to a wep-protected Network. Maybe someone of you can give me a hint how to get this thing working.

You need to give us a clue what distro you are using, and some basic information about your system and what type of wireless card you have. With this, someone might have had similar experiences with his hardware and might be able to offer some info.

Ok,
I use slackware-11.0, linux-2.6.19.1 and a wlan-card which uses the ipw-2200 driver from the kernel.
I want it to be connected with a linksy-wrt54gs router.
