[Bug 268271] New: Make WPA2 access to WLAN possible during installation.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268271 Summary: Make WPA2 access to WLAN possible during installation. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: casualprogrammer@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com When setting up openSuSE10.3 any alpha, during configuration of the network all cards are detected, but WPA2 access to WLAN is not configurable. As many people today rely on WLAN as their only means of network access and WPA2 is developing into the de facto standard ( from my desk alone I can see some 30 networks with quite a few of them being WPA2 encrypted ) The hardware is a FSC Amilo Si1520 with Intel ipw3945 WLAN -- 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.

What we currently do not support is WPA-EAP, maybe this is actually meant here. That makes the setup process much more complex, depending on the EAP method it may even require that the user has to provide certificate files via some media, so this is not trivial to implement and needs an official feature request therefore IMHO. The benefit of this is doubtful, as WPA-EAP is most probably only used inside enterprise environments, I don't think admins will strain themselves by installing machines via slow wireless links. -- 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=268271 ------- Comment #4 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-03 15:01 MST ------- OK, what is meant: When doing a clean install from DVD, setting up internet access will pick one of the detected cards for access to the internet ( in my case the LAN and the WLAN ) when deciding on WLAN you can pick from no security, WEP or WPA NOT WPA2, because I know that wpa_supplicant can do it, I ask that this ability is put to use in the installation process. Just reading what is asked for, rather tan guessing ("maybe this is actually meant here") sometimes is really helpful. I am talking of WPA2 personal with CCMP. -- 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.
