iwlwifi drivers are known to have problems with hidden SSIDs at this time, because they do not support the ap_scan=2 option with wpa_supplicant... we could make sure this is the case though. Are you familiar with wpa_supplicant's config file format? Somewhat. What do you have in mind? constructing a wpa_supplicant.conf file that will connect to your network, then playing around with ap_scan=1 and ap_scan=2 to determine whether this is actually the cause of your problem with iwl3945. It's pretty much known not to work with hidden SSIDs and ap_scan=2 already, but doesn't hurt to nail it down before handing off to the kernel team to fix the driver. Let me know if you'd like to do this. Created attachment 277351 [details]
syslog messages on working wireless config
I'm attaching this to aide in configuring a matching wpa_supplicant.conf file
manually.
Okay, I'm working on creating a wpa_sup.conf file that I'll attach here. At that point I'll need some guidance. sure, let me know, happy to help. Okay, here is my tentative /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
AP_SCAN=2
network={
ssid="WireLessNetwork"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="isddjn"
password="<password>"
priority=1
}
Looks good. Kill NetworkManager, then wpa_supplicant. Then run wpa_supplicant with: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -ddd -i wlan0 -D wext -c /path/to/your/wpa_supplicant.conf You're looking for the string COMPLETED in there. in any case, email me the log. YOu probably don't want to attach it as some private network details may leak through. The following wpa_supplicant.conf file gets me onto the network. Running
dhclient gets me an IP address and everything seems to be working.
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="WireLessNetwork"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="isddjn"
password="<password>"
priority=1
}
Do you still want the wpa_supplicant output emailed to you? I'm going to speculate this is a simply a matter of getting NetworkManager to do the right thing when using PEAP without certs. Please ping me on IRC if you would like me to try a new NetworkManager build. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 373841 *** |
Description of problem: Supplying credentials to nm-applet causes some delay, then nm-applet returns asking for access credentials and/or certs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@lapster /]# rpm -qa |egrep "NetworkM|wpa_sup" NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3109.fc8 NetworkManager-debuginfo-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3109.fc8 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-2.svn3047.fc8 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3109.fc8 wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-16.fc8 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3109.fc8 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.4.svn3030.fc8 [root@lapster /]# uname -a Linux lapster.4wx.net 2.6.23.8-63.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 18:51:08 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: Try connecting to a ESSID that is hidden running wpa and PEAP authentication. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start nm-applet (from system tray) 2. connect to other wireless network 3. NetworkName: Populated 4. Wireless Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise 5: Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP) 6: Anonymous Identiity: <blank> 7: CA Cert: (None) 8: PEAP Version: Version 1 9: Inner Authentication: MSCHAPv2 10: User Name: mine 11: Password: mine 12: Click Connect 13: Click Ignore (for the lack of CA Cert dialog) 14: suffer :( Actual results: Error asking for credentials when correct credentials have been supplied. Expected results: A connection to the wireless network is created.
