Description Iain Anderson 2007-07-21 12:05:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

Can't connect to wireless network that uses WPA. Hardware: 3com officeconnect
3crwe154g72, version 1.0 (pcmcia, fullmac)

Works fine with WEP, also ok under XP or ndiswrapper.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.23-0.35.rc0.git6.fc8
NetworkManager-0.6.5-7.fc8
wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-3.fc8

(and various older releases, I don't think this is a regression)

How reproducible:

Click on network connections icon, select wireless network, enter WPA password.
"connecting" animation is shown for a time, when this goes away the wired
connection is active but the wireless is not.

Additional info:

Sometimes the wireless authentication dialog does not show WPA as an option.

With a fresh installation of rawhide, the softmac driver is selected and given
the appropriate firmware this works fine (although presumably with more host cpu
load).

kernel-2.6.23-0.115.rc3.git1.fc8
