GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 647114
Cannot connect to WPA2 network
Last modified: 2011-05-03 19:37:44 UTC
I click on a WPA2 protected network in the list of wireless networks and nothing happens. I do not get disconnected from the current networks, nothing. The thing simply doesn't try adding the network, simply nothing at all happens (no dialogs, no nothing, the indicator of the current network doesn't change). The relevant bits from nm-tool: UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:1D:70:92:9E:61, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 24 WPA WPA2 Enterprise *UCSD-GUEST: Infra, 00:24:97:F0:AA:21, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 100 UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:1D:70:92:C2:E1, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 20 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:1D:70:92:BF:51, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 29 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:24:97:F0:A9:93, Freq 2462 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 25 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:24:97:F0:AC:73, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 22 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:24:97:F0:A8:C3, Freq 2437 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 67 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-PROTECTED: Infra, 00:24:97:F0:AA:23, Freq 2412 MHz, Rate 54 Mb/s, Strength 100 WPA WPA2 Enterprise UCSD-GUEST is the open one that I am connected to.
Do you see anything suspicious in NetworkManager logs (/var/log/messages) or gnome-shell logs (~/.xsession-errors)? It could be related to PolicyKit, to invisible networks, to configuration issues, or just a new bug.
Nothing in messages, but .xsession-errors gets: Window manager warning: Log level 16: Device activation failed: (32) Failed to determine AP security information That's it ... Do note that the same wifi network worked fine in fedora 14 (whatever those versions nm and nm-applet were). Regardless, I would suppose there are two bugs 1) the fact that I can't connect to the network 2) the fact there is no feedback to the user when something bad happened
what version of NetworkManager? I can connect to a WPA2 network here. (Well, at least, I can get as far as it asking me for the password.)
Whatever is current in the "fedora 15 to be" repository: jirka@foo:~% rpm -q NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.8.998-2.git20110406.fc15.i686 jirka@foo:~%
Any news on this? I have the same problem. I tested using the last fedora from rawhide. Here is my log from xsession-errors: cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop': No such file or directory _IceTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.ICE-unix will not be created.

By the way, in fall back mode i could connect
The original report is about WPA[2]-Enterprise connections. Duped to that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 648171 ***
