 |

Hi,
i have a problem using Networkmanager to connect to my wpa protected wlan.
If i use wpa_supplicant only, there is no problem in building up the connection
output of wpa_supplicant -c /root/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0
| Code: | Trying to associate with SSID 'very_secret'
Associated with 00:01:e3:08:15:a9
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:01:e3:08:15:a9 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:01:e3:08:15:a9 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
WPA: Group rekeying completed with 00:01:e3:08:15:a9 [GTK=TKIP]

my wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:
| Code: | ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="very_secret"
psk="even_more_secret"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
}

But when i use NetworkManager to connect to my wlan chosen from the wlan list, i get the following message after hanging shortly in stage 2 of 5:
| Code: | | nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_essid(): error setting ESSID to '' for device wlan0: Invalid argument |
It looks like wpa_supplicant invoked by NM is not able to work correctly... Sometimes i get a connection, but after some minutes, connection gets lost again, error is stated above....There is no clear pattern in which way its working or not, i just try & try again (No changing in configuration files) by clicking on my network in the NMs Wlan list... after some tries, connection by NM is there...(but is lost after a while again (10-30min))
NetworkManager in it self seems to work, i can see the wlan list, unencrypted Networks work...
I am using prism54 by ndiswrapper with gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r8...
What makes my wonder, just using wpa_supplicant everything is fine, no connection loss, but i'd like to have the comfort of NMs gnome-applet...
Does anyone knows, what to do? How can I change the behavior how NM invokes wpa_supplicant?

hi,
don´t know why, but after some time (6weeks) and some updates (incl. kernel & ndiswrapper) it seems to work somehow stable....
What exactly solved this, remains a secret...
