NM: cannot associate with AP when using WPA-PSK (wpa_supp can)
Last modified: 2008-10-20 10:46:24 EDT
Description of problem: With NM I can not get a connection with my AP while using WPA-PSK. When I use wpa_supplicant from the commandline I do get a connection. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-16.fc8 NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.5.svn3030.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: NM tries to get a connection but keeps coming back asking for the WPA-PSK passphrase. Expected results: Get a working connection. Additional info:
This is on a MacBook with atheros Wifi (AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) ) and the madwifi driver from SVN (r2990) because the ath5k driver does not support my card.
Created attachment 271641 [details] output from NetworkManager --no-daemon Attached output from starting NetworkManager with --no-daemon. When it asked for the key again I pressed cancel.
Ah, is it that ath5k doesn't support PCI _express_ cards yet? Because I just updated to the latest kernel this weekend on a pci-connected ar5006 laptop and it magically started working with my AP while earlier kernels from last week didn't. Failing that I'll need to get madwifi and go build that and test.
Hmm, I am currently running kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8 which is the latest FAIK. But yes, according to lspic I have a PCI-E ar5006.
I can no longer test this as I no longer have the hardware nor the mentioned versions of the software.
Ok, testing working with WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK on F8 with 2.6.26.5-6.fc8, NM svn4022.4, and supplicant 0.5.10-6.fc8 on ipw2200 hardware.
