Bug#296428: kwifimanager: KWifiManager doesn't save settings
Package: kwifimanager
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: important
I am submitting a bug report that I also submitted upstream at:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99991:
The KWifiManager control center module doesn't save any settings here, regardless on whether I start it from KWifiManager or use the control
center directly. It also does not work when I start the control center as root directly.
I tried clicking "Apply" on every change, but when I leave the dialog with "OK" or just by selecting an other control center module from the
list and then go back all my changes got lost.
This applies to all settings in one of those 4 possible configuration as well as the setting on which configuration to load and the setting on
which network interface the configuration is for.
I like to setup a start script that does a DHCP on the interface once the WLAN connection is up, but I can't since any changes to my settings
get lost.
This is on an IBM ThinkPad R51 with Debian Sarge with
kwifimanager 3.3.2-1
wireless-tools 27-2
kernel-image-2.6.10-4
and ipw2200 driver (version 1.0.0, firmware 2.2).
There are also reports from users of other distribution that saving settings does not work. But none of them contained a solution:
