I am using a Dell Latitude D620 with the Intel 3945 chipset. I am able to connect to my business's WPA2 Enterprise network by hand, ie: 0. Disable NetworkManager 1. Create wpa_supplicant.conf file 2. ifconfig wlan0 up 3. wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 4. iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSID" 5. dhclient wlan0 However, when using NetworkManager I am not able to get a connection. It seems to try for a short while, but returns. I observe the following behavior: 1. Select WPA2 Enterprise 2. Enter in information and click connect 3. NetworkManager complains about no CA, I click Ignore 4. NetworkManager prompts for access to the keyring. Although I enter in the correct password (same on that works with my WEP network at home) it does not accept it, so I must click Discard to proceed. 5. NetworkManager processes for a while. 6. I am returned to the WPA2 Enterprise information entry dialog. I am using NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.7.svn3235.fc8 in tandem with kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8.
I have tried with and without my "working" wpa_supplicant file ("working" as in "works" with my by-hand method). I will attach it along with debug output from NetworkManager. This is my first time troubleshooting NetworkManager, so please advise any other information that would be useful to help track this down.

Created attachment 299998 [details] NetworkManager debug log from connection attempt. You can see that NM seems to add a few additional options that I don't specify in my wpa_supplicant.conf file.
Hmm, that "auth2=MSCHAPV2" doesn't look right, I think that's supposed to be "auth=MSCHAPV2". Can you try with "auth=MSCHAPV2" in your supplicant config manually and see if that does anything? What happens if you remove the phase2 line entirely?
Dan, thanks for your response on this and sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I've upgraded to Fedora 9 where the WPA2 connection now works (mostly) -- well enough for my needs and I no longer have to initialize the connection manually. So you can go ahead and close this out. I will note however, that using the wpa_supplicant.conf I attached worked fine when manually passed to wpa_supplicant... Thanks again!
Ok; fixes to NM should filter back to F8 as well but if F9 works, that's great.
