LinuxQuestions.org - Cannot get the wireless to work

I cannot get my ubuntu to work with my WAP.

WAP = Linksys 54 G
WAP Config = Hidden SSID, WPA2-Mixed, TKIP+EAS encryption.
OS = Ubuntu 8.10
Laptop = HP Pavillion DV laptop.

On my other partition (same laptop), I have Vista installed and it works fine with my WAP.

In Ubuntu, I've used the networkmanger to configure the wireless settings with SSID, WPA2-Personal and the PSK.

When using Ubuntu, when I disable all the WAP security on my WAP, I´m able to connect to the WAP.

This is my iwconfig =

Code:

lo        no wireless extensions.



eth0      no wireless extensions.



pan0      no wireless extensions.

This is my wpa_supplicant.log =

Code:

Trying to associate with SSID '54G'

Invalid key management type (16).

WPA: Failed to generate WPA IE.

WPA: Failed to set WPA key management and encryption suites (no scan results)

When I change my WAP setting from WPA2-mixed to WPA2-Personal with EAP, the wpa_supplicant.log shows the following =

Code:

Trying to associate with 00:1d:7e:0c:61:70 (SSID='54G' freq=2437 MHz)

Association request to the driver failed

Associated with 00:1d:7e:0c:61:70

CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:1d:7e:0c:61:70 completed (reauth) [id=1

CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys

When I attempt to run wpa_gui, I get =

Code:

¨Failed to open control connection to wpa_supplicant¨]

and when I attemp to add the network manually in wpa_gui, I get

Code:

¨Failed to enable network in wpa-suppliant configuration¨.
