Description Sebastian Krämer 2009-06-05 11:30:22 UTC
Description of problem:

I had big trouble connecting to the mentioned wlan router. After some googling I found that the trouble comes from the negotiation part in mixed mode. When setting the router to WPA2/AES only, I could connect successfully. The problem is reported on the net for other linux distributions (found some ubuntu forums posts..) so this is not fedora specific.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
It applies to NetworkManager-0.7.1 and the kernel module kmod-rt2860-2.1.2.0 (which is the latest upstream version, it appears).


I wasn't sure if this bug is correctly assigned to NetworkManager since the problem lies with kernel module (probably) but I couldn't find a better category, the module isn't party of the kernel (yet. I think there is an ongoing transition to include it upstream).

Thanks for filling this bug.

Can you please provide your /var/log/messages while the problem occurs and also the kernel version you are using (uname -r)? Thank you.

NetworkManager output

This is output of a failed connection attempt from /var/log/messages. It shows that the connection times out.

Comment 3 Sebastian Krämer 2009-06-07 12:25:57 UTC
.. and my kernel version is 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64

Comment 4 Sebastian Krämer 2009-07-25 09:59:03 UTC
It appears the problem solved itself when I upgraded to f11, it's working now with
NetworkManager 0.7.1 (release 8.git20090708.fc11) and rt2860 2.1.2.0 (release 2.fc11).

Not sure if it's necessary, just posting this for sake of completeness.
