--- Comment #5 from Freek de Kruijf
As I said in my E-mail response for this issue, the difference is between WPA and WPA2. The encryption is completely different. As far as I know, all drivers handle both cases OK, at least with NetworkManager. I have no idea what wicked does, nor do I wish to find out.
The only thing I see in your posting is
wicked: No valid configuration files found at /etc/wicked/ifconfig
Perhaps it is able to generate a WPA2 configuration from scratch, but not WPA.
In that case this is the bug to be solved. But I doubt that this really is a problem. I found this message also bug#890570, but does seem to be relevant. I have another system with a similar USB Wi-Fi dongle, it connects OK to: Cell 01 - Address: 00:0C:F6:33:E4:A4 ESSID:"xxxxxxx" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.442 GHz (Channel 7) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Extra:rsn_ie=30140100000fac040100000fac040100000fac020100 IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : CCMP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Preauthentication Supported Signal level=100/100 It looks as if WPA2 is used but also CCMP which works also with the other AP. The not working AP is: Cell 03 - Address: FC:F5:28:7E:60:1C ESSID:"ProblemAP" Protocol:IEEE 802.11bg Mode:Master Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 18 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s Extra:wpa_ie=dd160050f20101000050f20201000050f20201000050f202 IE: WPA Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Signal level=44/100 Here TKIP is mentioned. So maybe that's the problem. However I used my laptop with 13.2 managed by NM which connected OK with the ProblemAP. In the above bug report I noticed wicked commands which indicate how to produce more debug output. Will try to get more info with that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
