Description of problem: When trying to connect to a wireless network secured with WPA2 enterprise, nothing happens. There's no message in dmesg, only the following error in .xsession-errors: Window Manager warning: Log level 16: Device activation failed: (32) Failed to determine AP security information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest in Fedora 15 (without rawhide) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up your computer 2. Find a WPA2 enterprise wireless network 3. Try to connect 4. View .xsession-errors Actual results: Nothing happens, and you're not connected to the network Expected results: Dialog to enter WPA2 credentials, and then a successful connection.
Right, I noticed on the F15 Live Beta TC1 that I cannot easily connect to WPA2-Enterprise networks. Clicking on the network in the network icon doesn't do anything at all--no attempt to connect, no connection editor dialog pops up, nothing. Also, clicking Network Settings to open the control panel applet doesn't have any way to edit the WPA2-Enterprise connection either. The Options... button stays greyed out. I had to go to overview mode to launch nm-connection-editor manually just to be able to connect to the wireless network. I think if a network requires more credentials to connect, the Gnome Shell applet should pop up the connection editor, and/or the Options... button on the network control panel should be active and also launch nm-connection-editor. I'm proposing this for F15Target.

I am able to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise network here now, with NetworkManager-0.8.998-2.git20110406.fc15 control-center-3.0.0.1-3.fc15 gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-1.fc15 I had to set up the connection manually initially, ie by running nm-connection-editor and creating a suitable wifi connection. Ever since, using the connection from the shell network menu or from the control-center network panel works fine.

I'm still not prompted for WPA2 Enterprise certificates, and .xsession-errors still shows: Window Manager warning: Log level 16: Device activation failed: (32) Failed to determine AP security information. when selecting the WPA2 Enterprise protected network from the network applet. Additionally, going to Network Settings, selecting Wireless, and choosing the same WPA2 Enterprise network from the Network Name dropdown does nothing either--the dropdown goes back to blank/no network selected. No errors appear in .xsession-errors in this case.
On another system, I also noticed this message appear in .xsession-errors after selecting the WPA2 Enterprise network: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Not sure if it is related...it doesn't display that message every time I select the network (like it does for the other one above), so it may just be coincidence that something else on the system is causing that one.
Discussed at the 2011-04-21 blocker bug review meeting. Does not directly hit any release criteria but deemed severe enough to accept as NTH.
This bug is fixed for nm-applet and NetworkManager. The remaining issue is lack of implementation support for WPA Enterprise networks in gnome-shell's network indicator, which is not an issue for NetworkManager. Thus, this bug should be closed and a new one for the missing feature in the gnome-shell filed. The applet now has all the support that gnome-shell needs to connect to WPA Enterprise networks.
Cloned as #699014 for gnome-shell.
NetworkManager-0.8.998-3.git20110419.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Unfortunately connecting to WPA Enterprise networks works only once. All following attempts to connect to the same network fail. As a workaround it is possible to delete /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$networkname and try again. I have created a follow-up bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703785 .
