[Bug 604095] New: Standard Ralink driver RT2860 cannot connect to WPA2 networks
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604095 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=604095#c0 Summary: Standard Ralink driver RT2860 cannot connect to WPA2 networks Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Milestone 6 Platform: PC OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: enderandrew@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.29 Safari/533.4 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13217 This is an upstream kernel bug. Attached to that bug report is a patch. Some Ubuntu users have reported compiling with that patch themselves and fixing the problem. I encountered the bug testing openSUSE 11.3, and it is the one issue that made me roll back to openSUSE 11.2. Since there is a working patch, but upstream hasn't accepted the patch, can we please get it included in openSUSE 11.3? Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load openSUSE 11.3 2. Try to connect to a WPA2 wireless network with the rt2860sta driver 3. Actual Results: The connection will timeout every time while trying to authenticate Expected Results: Successful connection -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This bug has been fixed a long time ago.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load openSUSE 11.3 2. Try to connect to a WPA2 wireless network with the rt2860sta driver
Have you made sure you are actually using the rt2860sta driver? On my machine this driver is loaded but the rt2800pci driver (which does not yet work with RT2860 hardware) attaches to it by default and needs to be blacklisted.
Actual Results: The connection will timeout every time while trying to authenticate
Have you tried connecting without NetworkManager, i.e. manually or with YaST? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This patch was part of 2.6.31-rc1. That means it's part of both openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3.
I searched the LKML and couldn't find when it was applied. That being said, the driver works for me in 11.2, but does not work in 11.3. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If the same fix is applied in 11.2 and 11.3, then the behavior isn't the same between the two. 11.2 works out of the box. 11.3 does not. I did verify with lsmod that rt2860sta was being loaded as the driver. I did not try blacklisting the rt2800pci driver, but I ended up reinstalling 11.2 so I can't easily test it right this second. I'd still consider this a bug/regression given that the hardware does not work out of the box as expected in 11.3, where it does in 11.2.

I used NetworkManager first, and then I tried manually as well with iwconfig. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It will load but it might not attach. You can e.g. use nm-tool to see which driver you are actually using.
the rt2800pci driver, but I ended up reinstalling 11.2 so I can't easily test it right this second.
Please download the M6 LiveCD and run the following as root: modprobe -r rt2800pci modprobe -r rt2860sta modprobe rt2860sta Then try again connecting with NetworkManager.

Yes, that is bug #606243. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
