Hi Graham, there's a bug logged for this against Network Manager: <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632184">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632184</a> I believe this is the same issue you're encountering and in fact it's the issue that I have with my company's WiFi and certificates. The same certificate is used for 802.1X on the wired network and this works, but it doesn't work on the WiFi which uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise. I hadn't been digging deeper into this until a few days ago. It seems that it partially depends on the network driver as a colleague with a different wifi card is able to get on the network, but I'm not. I'm trying to gather as much information to see if I can get the developers fix it. It didn't happen on 10.04 base install, up to about a week or two before 10.10 was out, so you could try using a 10.04 installation and see if it works for you.

The netbook is finding and identifying the wireless network OK. Selecting the network gives a pop up dialog and filling in the connection settings (as best I can) simply allows the connection details box to disappear and then re-appear a few seconds later. There are instructions available for Nokia S60 phones and Windows (but none for Linux). Taking the settings from the windows instructions, I have the following set up as a network connection Wireless tab: SSID: the network name Mode: infrastructure BSSID: blank MAC address: left blank MTU: automatic Wireless security: Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP) Anonymous identity: left blank CA Certificate: None (but windows instructions tell you to search for certficate and authenticate it, The Mac does this automatically) PEAP version: automatic inner authentication: MSCHAPv2 username; my username password: my password IPv4 settings: Automatic DHCP IPv6 settings: ignore The instruction for windows says to select WPA2, PEAP, uncheck authenticate as computer when computer information is available, uncheck fast reconnect, configure secure password (EAP-MSCHAPv2) to either domain account or local account, and to validate server certificate. I have been telling Ubuntu to ignore the certificate request, which from what I have read should still work. I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest what I should be trying to get connected. Many thanks, Graham -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
