Description of problem: At my school, we have full coverage by multiple wireless broadcast stations throughout the building. A student is expected to connect to the "-guest" network, which is unsecured by any secrets. I am unable to connect to any of those wireless broadcast stations, all of which have the same SSID "<school corporation's abbreviation>-guest". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.9.0-41.git20131003.fc20 (Output of "sudo NetworkManager --version") How reproducible: I am using a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) running on a HP Pavilion dv6z-6c00 laptop. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disconnect from any wireless networks. 2. Attempt to connect to one of the broadcast stations using NM-applet or any other interface to NetworkManager Actual results: NetworkManager tries to connect to the network, sometimes claiming success but rapidly disconnecting after that. Expected results: NetworkManager successfully connects to the closest network with the SSID (with the highest signal) and maintains a connection with it until it is disconnected or out of range, then, if still commanded to connect to the same SSID, finds the closest one. Additional info: I would be glad to provide any extra information or logs, not sure what to attach.
Does your Wi-Fi work at general, for other networks (SSIDs)? Please, as a start, would you attach this: * NM logs when attempting top connect in /var/log/messages file or using journal # journalctl -u NetworkManager * /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log or journalctl -u wpa_supplicant * nmcli dev wifi
I am no longer able to provide information on this request. It appears that changes that have occurred have allowed things to work again.
I am no longer able to provide information on this request—drivers must have been working. (I am only commenting here to clear a needinfo request I've had active for the last 4 years.)
