Description Orion Poplawski 2006-07-26 19:12:00 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm setting up a new WPA2/AES PSK wireless network, and trying to get my Lynksys
WPC54GS (V12) to connect using the bcm43xx driver.  I can connect okay from a
Windows machine as well as from another FC5 system using the ipw2100 driver, so
I suspect it's a bcm43xx issue.

Bug #184521 mentions a fix for the bcm43xx driver that got into the
2.6.16-1.2088_FC6 kernel.  I'd imagine though that that fix is in
2.6.17-1.2159_FC5 as well, which is what I'm running.

wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
        ssid="CORA"
        psk=<key>
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        proto=WPA2
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
}

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.fc5

How reproducible:
everytime

Comment 2 Heiko Jakob 2006-10-27 20:47:58 UTC
Try the following:

1. Disable wpa_supplicant service
# chkconfig wpa_supplicant off

2. Add the following line on the end of
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless 

wpa_supplicant -B -i$DEVICE -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf



This should work as a temp. workaround.
But the whole wireless setup scripts need some cleanup i think.

Regards Heiko


Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2006-10-28 02:38:57 UTC
This appears to be fixed in 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5.
