KNetworkManager does not prompt for password on ppc machines

Bug Description

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

I'm using feisty on a ppc, ibook G4 machine.

Trying to connected to any password-encrypted connection, whether WEP or WPA, fails to prompt me for a password. So it doesn't connect at all. I have to use the "Connect to Other Wireless Network" option to connect.

I've tried installing Kubuntu on x86 machines, and KNetworkManager seems to work fine. So, from my limited knowledge of things, I guess this is a ppc-only problem.

Thank you for filing this bug. Are you still experiencing this problem with Gutsy or Hardy?
If so, could you post your /var/log/syslog when knetworkmanager tries and fails to connect.

Hi Yuriy

Yes the problem still exists. I'm using Hardy now. Here's the syslog. Hope
it helps.

Thanks for the logs. Could you also test this with Ubuntu/Gnome (or just gnome's network-manager-applet) to see if this problem is specific to knetworkmanager?

It seems that it is specific to knetworkmanager. I tried nm-applet, and it
does prompt for the password.
Thanks.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
