NetworkManager + wpa_supplicant
Greetings,
I am using Fedora 8 on an Acer laptop using Intel Wireless. My issue seems to be connecting to WPA2 protected networks, like the one I have set up in my home. I am using a Dlink router as an AP. After first installing Fedora 8, I had no issues with connecting to WPA2 networks, then slowly over time I have gotten to the point of being able to connect after about 50 retries. Connecting to an unprotected network works fine, which is how I am connecting as I type this. Here is what I get in the /var/log/message log: Code:
Apr 17 21:43:52 ocelot NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled... I am using iwl4965 (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG) with NetworkManager. Not sure where to go next. Restarting either NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant does nothing. Any suggestions? I'm at the point where I am going to open the wifi, block all access except OpenVPN and just tunnel through my WAP to my IPCop firewall. :P Thanks. |
Solution?
For anyone reading this thread and wondering if I found a solution:
The problem was NOT Linux, nor was it the driver. The issues were with the crappy little D-Link wireless router I was using. I recently dumped DD-WRT onto a Linksys router and since then I haven't had a single connection failure. |
Can you remember which model it was?
