           Summary: Can connect to encrypted wireless network but non-
                    encrypted network.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: isleshocky77 sowebdesigns com


Version:           4.1.0 (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Currently KNetworkManager has all the information about wireless card correct and \
will detect all available wireless networks.  When I try to connect to a network \
which has WEP encryption it works perfectly.  However, when I try to connect to an \
open network (one without) encryption it fails every time at 57% at the stage for ip \
address.

If you're wondering about the use of open wireless network this is not for stealing \
wifi from a neighbor. I was at a friend's house who wanted un-encrypted for ease of \
use but was allowing me to use his network.  The same goes for if I'm at a place like \
Panera bread, McDonald's, hotels, or even JFK International airport all of which do \
not use encryption and have open and free wifi.

I'm not sure what information should be posted here so please let me know if you need \
any other versions or information.

Basically it's a brand new KUbuntu 8.04 install running KDE 4.1

Device: PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
