[Bug 127660] Re: NetworkManager and iwp3945 Driver WPA/Hidden Network

[sk0rp10]

I can confirm this bug, but this is not related to a hidden network. 
Instead, while the ipw3945 is performing the auth handshake to install a WPA connection,
Knetworkmanagers times out the connection, wrongly thinking it has failed the authentication, and 
requesting a new authentication key. 

If u say Cancel to the new key request and then reconnect you'll see the green led of ipw3945 has just becomed stable green , which means
connected, and knetworkmanager will suddenly start the dhcp procedure because it founds the wireless link has already been established.

I think this could be easly fixed just setting a longer timeout for
ipw3945 wireless cards, which are slower in joining wpa networks, maybe
due to the fact they have a separate running daemon service which helps
the kernel module , maybe slowing down the driver itself.
