Package: network-manager Version: 0.8-1 Severity: normal
My ISP provides a box (FreeBox) that acts as an ADSL modem, 100Mbps, WiFi access point and more. For WiFi security it supports 4 modes: * WEP * WPA (TKIP) * WPA (AES/CCMP) * WPA (TKIP + AES) They recommend setting it to WPA (TKIP + AES). I did so and could connect to the WiFi network from a Windows XP laptop and a Leopard Mac Mini, but not from my Debian EeePC. See the syslog extracts below. So I then tried WPA (AES/CCMP) and I could finally connect with Debian. The Windows and Mac machines could still connect without reconfiguration. Now I can switch the FreeBox between the two modes and while the Windows and Mac machines can connect with no configuration change in either mode, the Debian machine can only connect in AES/CCMP mode. So it seems NetworkManager (or wpa-supplicant?) is confused by the TKIP / AES dual mode. About the FreeBox: mine is the FreeBox ADSL v5. It is known to run Linux though I don't have any login access to it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebox Here's the syslog extract: Mar 22 20:57:02 malte avahi-daemon[1770]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface wlan0.IPv6 with address fe 80::222:43ff:fe25:7da7.
