Description Bradley 2008-04-02 01:20:31 UTC
Description of problem:

After upgrading from kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 to kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8 some
wireless connections stop authenticating. (Still broken in kernel-2.6.24.3-50.fc8)

A WPA1 PSK/TKIP connection at home does work, but at university I have a choice
of two APs, one using WPA1/PSK and the other using WPA2 enterprise. Neither work
with the new kernel; both work with the old one. I don't know what the
difference between the two PSK connections is.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 - works
kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8 - fails
kernel-2.6.24.3-50.fc8 - fails

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try connecting to my university's APs, using NM
  
Actual results:

Times out, then NM asks for a password

Expected results:

Connects

Additional info:

Scan output from failing kernel is attached. The two SSIDs are 'ASGM2' (PSK) and
'uniwide' (802.1x)

dmesg says (failing kernel):

I think this is the same as bug 439249...
