Hello --

I have been having some difficulties with NetworkManager and I'm trying to get ideas on how to debug them. Most networks, NetworkManager connects to perfectly fine, even some networks that wpa_gui never seems to connect to. But some networks (like my home network), NetworkManager completely fails on. dmesg is filled with:

Code:

I thought that NetworkManager used the same network configurations (not wireless points, but driver configuration) under the hood. Does anyone have any ideas how to start debugging this problem?

Thanks.

I've been digging into this a little bit more and I'm wondering if it could be due to NetworkManager generating -Dwext rather than -Dnl80211; i.e. /etc/conf.d/net says:
Code:

#Generated by NetworkManager
###### Global Configuration ######
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"
wpa_supplicant_wlan1="-Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf"

###### Connection Configuration ######
#----------------------------------
auto_beroe="true"
config_beroe="dhcp"
enable_ipv6_beroe="false"
#----------------------------------
dhcpcd_eth0="-t 10"

Is there a way to get NetworkManager to use -Dnl80211?

Thanks.
