[Bug 969343] Re: Unable to connect to WPA enterprise wireless

Tue Jun 12 21:40:07 UTC 2012

Happening after my upgrade to 12.04

I've tried Diane Trout's patched wpa_supplicant and it did not work for
me, so this may be a related but non-identical issue

The WAP security is WPA/WPA2 personal (PSK), not enterprise, as the
other reports.

Relevant sections of syslog are:

I tried enabling debug logging for wpa_supplicant, but the ubuntu
configuration is different enough that it wasn't working for me (adding
-dddt -f /var/log/wpasupplicant.log to the dbus configuration resulted
in pretty bad system instability in both gnome-shell and network-
manager)

I've also tried ignoring ipv6 per some ?(un)related? bug reports, but
that had no effect.

any thoughts?

Bug description:
  Using identical settings as in 11.10, I am unable to make a wpa
  enterprise connection using xubuntu precise beta 2. This is a Lenovo
  X220 with a Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wireless interface. During the
  attempted logon, I am not presented with a certificate to approve,
  although wireless instructions for OSX suggest that I should be.
  However, I never had to approve a certificate when connecting with
  11.10 -- I just ignored the certificate screen and everything worked.

  This seems like the relevant excerpt from syslog:
