I reconfigured my WRT54GL router (not running Linux) to use WPA/WPA2. Previously it was only using MAC filtering. I'm using a Linksys USB 54g adapter (v.4.) on my computer, which works fine with no encryption configured. I can't connect with WPA2. This is Fedora 11, using NetworkManager, with all the latest updates. I get prompted for the WPA2 (personal, not enterprise) password, and get this in my messages file:
When I boot using an Ubuntu 8.10 live CD, and enter the same data to the same prompts, I get connected with no problem.
When I connected previously with Fedora 10, using the same hardware, to a newer Linksys router with WPA2, I had no problems.
I don't have another router or network adapter that is compatible with WPA or WPA2 to try, but I'm hoping to be able to test with another adapter in a few days.
I have found a reference on the net to this problem occurring with pre-official releases of 11 (whereas the same hardware had worked on 10), but nothing with regard to subsequent versions of 11.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: Some additional messages regarding the adapter:

First of all, I am quite new in Linux, so please forgive me if I write unuseful stuff (I hope not).
What kernel do you use? I tried the whole day to run the linksys WUSB54GC and no solution in the net was working. Just a couple of minutes I read the release history of the Ralink RT73 driver, which can be found beyond this crypic link: http://www.ralinktech.com/download.p...hNVEF6Qw%3D%3D
and there is written:
[V 1.1.0.3] (actual version)
1.) Support kernel 2.6.29.
I am running under 2.6.30, what may be a reason why I cannot use the WUSB54GC. If you use another driver for your adapter WUSB54G, you should check (http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2), if your kernel is supported.
Greetings,
NothingSpecial
P.S.: If you use the 2.6.30 kernel as well, can you give me a hint, how to install the WUSB54GC?

I was using whatever the latest update kernel to fedora11 was on the date I posted. But I had no problems with the GC. I just plugged it in and it worked. It's the large-format external Linksys USB adapter that I can't use. Also, everything is fine except when I try to use WPA. Used to work with my adapter; now it doesn't (or didn't as of a couple of weeks ago.)
