Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0.97-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After recent upgrade from 0.6.6, I am unable to connect to my WPA2 AP.
Downgrading back to 0.6.6 solves
the problem.
Symptoms: I try to connect, it tries for some 20 seconds, then presents me with
the dialog asking me to
enter the password ( it should know the password, it's in the keyring ). The
password field is
already filled in, but if I click on 'show the password' it turns out to be
gibberish. ( googling shows
people think it is the password, but hashed ). If I fill in the correct
password, it simply tries once
more for another 20 seconds, then shows the dialog again and keeps doing that
ad infinitum.
I believe my issue is the same as Bill Moseley's reported in n-m's mailing
list here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2009-February/msg00153.html
Dan William there advised to turn on debugging in wpa-supplicant by adding
'-dddt' to
the exec line in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service.
So i did exactly :
# rm -rf /var/log/wpa-supplicant.log
# add the '-dddt' to the file
# killall -TERM wpa_supplicant
# try to connect again.
The resulting, complete 'wpa-supplicant.log' and a revelant part of syslog can
be found in
http://koltunski.pl/n-m-problems/
My AP uses 'WPA2 Personal' with TKIP on channel 6 ( 2.437 Ghz ) SSID broadcast
is set to on. Anyway, as
I said before, downgrading to n-m 0.6.6 solves the problem.
best,
Leszek

Ok, doing so.

Well, this very much sounds like a specific driver problem and not a problem of
the 2.6.26 linux kernel.
