After about 60 seconds, the connection times out. I have tested this on two different machines. Machine A: Laptop, 32-bit, ATH5K wireless, openSUSE 11.1 Machine B: Laptop, 32-bit, Broadcom wireless, openSUSE 11.3 RC2 The problem occurs with both NetworkManager (in KDE and LXDE) and the "traditional method" with ifup. While NetworkManager is trying to connect, dmesg and iwconfig show that the card is associating and deassociating ("dmesg | tail" is below). I can always connect to the network if I manually specify the IP information. The output of my "dmesg | tail" follows (MAC addresses obscured): wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4) wlan0: associated wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4) wlan0: associated wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3) Reproducible: Always -- 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.
