WPA2-Enterprise does not work
Last modified: 2010-05-27 12:40:12 UTC
With both KNetworkmanager and nm-applet, I'm not able to connect to any wireless network. For example I'm trying to connect to the "Novell" net. nm-tool shows me the interface and asks for a password: - Device: wlan0 [Novell] ------------------------------------------------------ Type: 802.11 WiFi Driver: iwl3945 State: connecting (need authentication) Default: no HW Address: 00:1B:77:6D:A0:67 Capabilities: Wireless Properties WEP Encryption: yes WPA Encryption: yes WPA2 Encryption: yes dmesg shows me: [ 246.980301] wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:0b:86:c2:19:52 (try 1) [ 246.984208] wlan0: direct probe responded [ 246.984213] wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0b:86:c2:19:52 (try 1) [ 246.984811] wlan0: authenticated [ 246.984832] wlan0: associate with AP 00:0b:86:c2:19:52 (try 1) [ 246.987047] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0b:86:c2:19:52 (capab=0x511 status=0 aid=1) [ 246.987051] wlan0: associated [ 246.996302] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:0b:86:c2:19:52 by local choice (reason=1) /var/log/NetworkManager shows me: Mar 16 14:57:04 x61s-aj NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) starting connection 'Novell' Mar 16 14:57:04 x61s-aj NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 0) Mar 16 14:57:04 x61s-aj NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...

Btw. I do not think that this is a duplicate of #586711 - but perhaps the two are related.
It would be good to try with ifup/ifdown and try to isolate the problem. Also wpa_gui could be useful. Small how-to is here [1]. General info how-to report wifi problems is here [2]. [1] http://en.opensuse.org/WiFi_HOWTO#wpa_gui [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Tracking_down_wireless_problems
Would it be possible to (a) install sysconfig with wpa_gui support [1] (b) switch to ifup/ifdown in Yast, (c) "killall wpa_supplicant" and (d) start wpa_gui as user ? [1] install sysconfig from home:vbotka:sandbox/sysconfig and set WPAGUI="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/networking/config
needinfo
I have now WPA2 Personal working at home without a problem (without any changes besides updating to latest Factory). But WPA-Enterprise is not working and I'm not able to set it up using wpa_gui so that it connects.
Let's change the subject, it seems it's only WPA2-Enterprise that does not work.
Created attachment 348877 [details] /var/log/NetworkManager I cannot reproduce with openSUSE 11.3 MS3 . The wlan adapter [1] is working fine in Gnome. Networkmanager messages are attached. I will test iwl3945 next. [1] # hwinfo --wlan <snip> Model: "Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x4229 "PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection"
Created attachment 348880 [details] /var/log/NetworkManager I cannot reproduce with iwl3945 either. The wlan adapter [1] is working fine in Gnome. Networkmanager messages are attached. [1] # hwinfo --wlan <snip> Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x4227 "PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection"
Do not think this is driver/wpa_supplicant problem. Reassigning to default.
Thanks Vladimir for the test. Now I'm really puzzled. Could you lend me your magic hands to fix my system? ;) Are you running 64-bit x86-64 as well?
I continue to see in the NetworkManager log file: wlan0: link timed out Activation (wlan0/wireless): association took too long
Yes, both system were x86-64. TP T60 (L669) and Acer Aspire 6920 (S685). There are many components driver-hal-dbus-wpa_supplicant-NM-applet . When the wlan does not work it is rather complex to isolate the problem. I really recommend to reduce the complexity to driver-hal-wpa_supplicant if problems arise. To make the setup easier I have built in home:vbotka:sandbox sysconfig with wpa_gui support. We discuss with mt how-to integrate it properly to sysconfig USERCONTROL and security framework.
Then I'm out of ideas since I tried wpa_gui and it didn't work for me either.
Regression from 11.2, adjusting severity. This still happens with Milestone7
This seems to related to the firmware of Intel. Upstream is working on this problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 601501 ***
