Hello all ################################ # wifi connection problem ################################ I installed Beta 1 DVD on T60 Thinkpad, Core Duo Post boot my wifi Essid "Mercury" (wlan0) WPA connection is KO using an Intel Wifi(3945abg) card ################################ # My analyse ################################ dmesg states "wlan0: disassociate(reason=3)" which means "Station has left the basic service area or extended service area and is deauthenticated". Why is this error happening at this point ? IMHO NetworkNetworkManger log suggests that the reason is that NetworkManager "Couldn't get connection secrets: dbus-settings.c.108 - Connection's plugin did not return a secrets hash.." More details follow... ################################ # dmesg gives ################################ ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready NET: Registered protocol family 17 wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:17:33:98:2c:3c wlan0: RX authentication from 00:17:33:98:2c:3c (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:17:33:98:2c:3c wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:17:33:98:2c:3c (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=00:17:33:98:2c:3c) ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:17:33:98:2c:3c wlan0: RX authentication from 00:17:33:98:2c:3c (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:17:33:98:2c:3c wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:17:33:98:2c:3c (capab=0x401 status=0 aid=1) wlan0: associated wlan0: disassociate(reason=3) wlan0: disassociate(reason=3) ################################ # dmesg analyse ################################ "wlan0: disassociate(reason=3)" means "Station has left the basic service area or extended service area and is deauthenticated".
