[Bug 243785] New: no WPA connection possible
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243785 Summary: no WPA connection possible Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 0plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com QAContact: qa@suse.de NIC: ipw2200 driver WPA encrypted WLAN, PSK ESSID: hidden I can not connect to the network when using Network Manager. I can connect perfectly to it when using the following commands: wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B iwconfig eth0 essid <ssid> dhclient eth0 /etc/wpa_supplicant contains only the lines: network={ ssid=<ssid> psk=<PSK in encrypted form> } I consider this feature a higly required one. It's a show stopper if it can not be used in such an environment. Also a configuration via Yast (traditional, without NM) does not work for a connection. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I have to force it to use TKIP instead of Automatic, then it connects. So the automatic selector is not working (even though on the Command Line I did never specify TKIP, so wpa_supplicant is able to do it right! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=243785 ------- Comment #4 from dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com 2007-02-13 14:00 MST ------- JP, the reply is not perfectly satisfying, as on CLI (using wpa_supplicant, iwconfig and hdclient) I never specified to use TKIP. I mean for myself this does not cause a problem, I guess I have enough knowledge to connect (apparantly, as I succeeded), but Joe Average might be a bit on his limit. So just having essit hidden (which is not worst practice) should still allow to login on automatic (as said: wpa_supplicant seems to do the trick when started manually. Seems NM is missing some parameters to send via the socket?) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Based on how easy it is to work around this problem (that widget is there for a reason), there's nothing critical about it. You can see what commands NM sends to wpa_supplicant from /var/log/NetworkManager log file, but it does send all from your manual config file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
