Description GroovieMan 2016-08-31 06:40:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Access to a WPA-HOME WLAN endpoint is not possible.
The curious things is, WLAN-WEP (has Web-Authorisation)
does not have that problem!!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora F23  (F24 seemed have it fixed)

How reproducible:
Simple open a WLAN-WPA, give the passkey 
wait and wait and wait and .... failure.
When i look into the journal i see:

First time i ran into that problem i entered:
$ firewall-cmd --list-interfaces
and did not see my WLAN device.

I added it later but, assigned a permanent public zone
but it did not helped.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit you Network-Manager
2.select a WLAN with WPA, give passkey
3.wait and see the error

Actual results:
WLAN with WPA is not working.
WLAN with WEP is  working ?!?!

Expected results:
Working WLAN ... man!

Additional info:
Ask me for some more infos iff you need 'em

Comment 1 Thomas Haller 2016-08-31 07:59:40 UTC
the logfile doesn't contain relevant parts of why activating the connection would fail. Please attach full logfile with level=TRACE enabled. See https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf?id=c90ec2d8c8a12b44c908bf7f80b23059c29f68fa and `man NetworkManager.conf`

I don't think the firewall-cmd matters here? Are you saying the connection was successfully established, but connectivity restricted by the firewall?

You say "see error"? What error did you see?

Note that fedora 23 brings 1.0.12 release. The 1.0 branch is no longer supported upstream, so expect little help here for Fedora 23. Sorry.

Comment 2 GroovieMan 2016-09-06 06:09:04 UTC
Salut Thomas 

and sorry for my late response, i had to ship some
other software and yeah went into problems.

I'll gonna send you the output of the log this evening
(in about 12 hours). 

No, the connection was not established, i simply noticed
an error message in journalctl -u NetworkManager, saying
that: 
    <warn>  [1473133773.4629] firewall: [0x55f53916fe40,remove:"wlp13s0"]: complete: request failed (UNKNOWN_INTERFACE: 'wlp13s0' is not in any zone)

so i thought it could be a firewall issue. 

In the meantime i switched to F24, but the problem is
still there. I have another notebook(with F24 it is ole i686), that 
has no problems with a similar configuration.

Comment 3 GroovieMan 2016-09-06 19:23:15 UTC
Ok, here we are:

wlp13s0 is my wlan device and GroovieNet the WLAN ressoure to conect to:

see the attached nm3.log.gz file.

Created attachment 1198406 [details]
journalctl -u NetworkManager

A log file from the NM.

Comment 5 Thomas Haller 2016-09-07 11:10:28 UTC
Hi,

from the logfile it is not visible why that would happen.
Can you gather logfiles from wpa-supplicant?

This is our howto for that: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager/Debugging#Debugging_WiFi_Connections
(although, recently those instructions did not work for me, they actually should work).

Comment 6 GroovieMan 2016-09-07 11:21:28 UTC
Does it help, iff not i will create a debug log.
Sorry actually the computer is serving some stuff
for me.

Comment 7 GroovieMan 2016-09-09 07:42:17 UTC
Salut 

the above log is the only think i can offer your. Let me know
iff you need further information. Maybe there is a side effect 
with a openvpn Configuration, that is running since F23.

Please take into accout, that i was switching the desktop
from cinnamon to plasma, after plasma was able to handle 
correct the openvpn stuff.

the only thing

Comment 9 GroovieMan 2016-09-13 20:56:02 UTC
Did you fix it in the meantime.
WLAN WPA Access is working again
in private and professional mode.
