Hi,

I've got a problem with my wireless lan connection. I've tried to connect to 3 different networks and only one network gives me a valid IP adress.
My Notebook has got a broadcom wireless device. I'm currently using the broadcom-sta driver and the wpa_supplicant.

Following are some config settings and status messages, with the wlan0 device connected to my router at home, which is the network with the SSID: SSID1.
The network with the SSID: SSID2 is the one, that works fine.
Code:
ifconfig:

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500  metric 1
        inet 169.254.248.200  netmask 255.255.0.0  broadcast 169.254.255.255
        inet6 fe80::5eac:4cff:fe69:798  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 5c:ac:4c:69:07:98  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 14  bytes 1867 (1.8 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 6319
        TX packets 98  bytes 29635 (28.9 KiB)
        TX errors 5  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 17 


Code:
iwconfig:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:"SSID1" 
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.452 GHz  Access Point: BC:05:43:87:AB:80   
          Tx-Power=200 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=50/70  Signal level=-60 dBm 
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0


Code:
wpa_cli status:

id=0
mode=station
pairwise_cipher=CCMP
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=169.254.248.200


Code:
lspci -v:

   Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. T77H103.00 Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card

   Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting

   Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
   Kernel driver in use: wl
   Kernel modules: wl


Code:
wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1

network={
   ssid="SSID1"
   #proto=WPA2
   #pairwise=CCMP
   #group=CCMP TKIP
   #scan_ssid=1
   psk="PSK1"
   priority=5
}

network={
   ssid="SSID2"
   proto=RSN
   key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
   group=CCMP TKIP
   eap=TLS
   identity="My Name"
   ca_cert="/etc/cert/cacert.pem"
   client_cert="/etc/cert/cert.pem"
   private_key="/etc/cert/key.pem"
   private_key_passwd="PSK2"
   priority=5
}

network={
   ssid="SSID3"
   proto=RSN
   key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
   group=CCMP TKIP
   eap=TLS
   identity="My Name"
   ca_cert="/etc/cert/cacert.pem"
   client_cert="/etc/cert/cert.pem"
   private_key="/etc/cert/key.pem"
   private_key_passwd="PSK3"
   priority=7
}


I noticed, that the network, which gives me a valid IP adress, is WPA only. The other networks are using both WPA and WPA2.
Could it be a encrypt problem? Or is the problem the broadcom-sta driver?
