PostPosted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 9:44 pm    Post subject: connecting to WPA network with NetworkManager Reply with quote

I have some problem connecting to a wireless router (SMC2804WBRP-G). It could be related to this router, because I did not experience the same behavior with another a router at another place also with WPA encryption.

Basically, NetworkManager can connect to the router for the first time with "TKIP" instead of "Automatic" setting. The second time however, it will fail. I can get it to connect again by removing the SSID entry under "Network Manager Editor" so that it asks for the WPA password again.

So it is sort of working, but I need help working out this small inconvenience. Thanks.

Hi, can you post the setting that you use for your router ?

What encryption method, what algorithm and also, did you enable some extra setting ?

The WPA configuration page has the following information:

Cypher suite: TKIP
Authentication: Pre-shared Key
Pre-shared key type: Passphrase (8~63 characters)
Pre-shared Key: [************]
Group Key Re_Keying: Disabled

What do you mean inside? I just configured the wireless router to use SSID "NOWIRE". I doubt there's conflict with nearby SSID or weird character issue with this name.

Hi, did you try to make it works with the manual way : /etc/wpa/wpa_supplicant.conf ?

You are using networkmanager, I never try this program,but this little program is suppose to make wifi connection a walk in a park.

wpa_supplicant works just fine, actually. I just want to see if nm works or not. In fact, it works with another router. Another ubuntu laptop also fails to connect to this router (does not connect at all), though i am not sure the problem is related.

Ok, we will try something.

Can you run this on both of your laptops :

Code:

# iwlist scan


Maybe the router has a very low signal and there is something wrong with the router...
