Fedora Networking :: WPA2 Password Won't "take"
Apr 18, 2009
When I start my laptop, the network manager tries to log on to my home network, apparently fails, and then brings up a screen offering me a space to enter the password for the home WPA2 network it's discovered.
Whether I enter the password when prompted or go into "Network Connections" and edit the password there the system always offers up a seemingly random 64 character string of numbers and letters instead of the true password. What's going on and how do I fix this?

I just wanted to get this out:
I have had this problem (entering the correct password and having Fedora repeatedly ask me for the password again) for a long time (since FC9) and have recently found what I believe to be a solution.
I know, you'll probably think it's extremely simple, but I just wanted to help any newbies to Fedora who might have the same problem as me.
Solution:
Right click on the Network Manager icon, and select "Edit Connections"
Go to the Wireless tab, and delete the entry for your wireless!Then manually re enter all of the settings.
This worked for me with a WPA2 TKIP connection, but it might work with a WPA2 AES also.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a PackardBell notebook and have just got an Orange Livebox 2 for broadband connection(after years of dial-up as no adsl in my area).I am trying to connect via WiFi to the Livebox to configure, but neither NetworkManager nor Wicd will connect. NM sees the Livebox but simply fails to connect after trying; Wicd says "Bad password".The WPA2 password I have entered is definitely correct, and I have connected without any problem from an AcerOne under Linpus.I have also tried to connect using Wicd and an ethernet cable, and this doesn't connect either, returning "Connection Failed: Unable to Get IP Address"

Well this one is driving me nuts. I've been searching through the forums for a while and it seems that a number of folks have similar issues but the solutions used don't look like they apply to me. so without further ado here are the outputs typically requested:lspci
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03)

I keep getting a "bad password" error message when trying to connect via wpa_supplicant to a wireless network (Apple Time Capsule WPA/WPA2 mixed).
Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
And the relevant line in the /etc/network/interfaces file:
Code:
The Time Capsule log contains the following error message--
Code:
So perhaps the password is somehow getting lost in translation from Ubuntu to the Time Capsule?

I was using Fedora 14 for some months and my wireless was working fine. I've set up a hidden network with WPA2 Personal authentication. My laptop has an Atheros AR2413 802.11bg NIC and my modem/router is a Topcom Webracer. Yesterday I upgraded to Fedora 15 and I can't login to that network now. The only way to login again is to boot with the old Fedora 14 kernel that still shows up in my grub menu.I've searched this on these forums there are plenty of people with the same problem but the only suggestions are that the network card isn't supported by Fedora or the network card doesn't support 802.11bg.some suggest changing the authentication method in the router... and the only one who got it solved was by rebooting the router... None of this addresses the fact that the same hardware/network was working just fine in Fedora 14. And I still can't find a way to have a wireless WPA2 connection with Fedora 15.What can I do to fix it?

I'm running Fedora 10 on a HP Compaq 6710b laptop. It is by far the best OS I have ever used and have no complaints, but I seem to be having some trouble with the wireless at work. The office has a single Cisco Aironet 1131 configured for WPA2 using AES with a PSK. The SSID is not broadcast. The mode is B/G mixed. My wireless card is a built-in Intel PRO 3945ABG, the driver is IWL3945 (auto configured during the OS install).
I use the Network Manager to manually add my SSID and select "WPA & WPA2 Personal" on the security tab and enter the PSK in the password field. After a few moments the wireless connects and appears to be working fine. About every 3-5 minutes while using the office network I get the "kernel error" dialog in the bottom right hand corner of my screen and the wireless drops connection. It re connects after about 30 seconds and appears to work fine until the next kernel error.

I am trying to enable wpa2 aes encryption on fedora. The wifi access was working fine with WEP and system-config-network but recently somebody hacked into my network and I had to switch back to wpa2 aes encryption. Looking at previous posts, I can see that a lot of people have used wpa supplicant and ndiswrapper to enable this. A post from 2006 even explains how to enable this: [URL]?t=93054 Using Add/Remove software, I have installed wpa_gui and ndiswrapper kernel module, but it doesn't work. I don't see my wlan0 in wpa_gui.

O currently have 2 USB WiFi adaptors: a Linksys WUSB54G v4 and a D-Link DWA-110. Both these USB adaptors worked extremely well in Windows: they could connect to any network: unsecured, WEP and WPA1/2I have tested these adaptors in DreamLinux, OpenSUSE and Mandriva: in these 3 distributions, i could use both adaptors to connect to my home's WPA2 network.Both adaptors also work well in Fedora 10.In Fedora 11 Alpha though, its a different thing: only the D-Link is able to connect to the home WPA2 network. My Linksys WUSB54Gv4 can 'see' the network, but when i enter in the WPA2 key, it takes forever to try to negotiate a connection before timing out and disconnecting.

I have a problem with my RT2860 in my Eee PC 901 running F13. It connected fine in F12 when I installed the akmod-rt2860 driver. I enter my WPA key, then it tries to connect, but the WPA key screen appears again saying that I may have typed in my WPA key incorrectly. However, I checked and it is the right WPA key.

I am using the Fedora 13 Live USB on my Gateway MT6451 laptop. All the major things you want to work on a laptop with linux actually work! Even my Broadcom wireless card! But even though I can see wireless networks and connect to ones that are open with no problem, I can't actually connect to my Hidden WPA2 network. I put all the information in and it connects, shows a good signal, but doesn't acquire the correct IP. I have a 192.168.X.X address range on my network, but it shows a 10.X.X.X ip and no Gateway address.
If I can get this one thing working I will definitely be installing Fedora.

After updating to 10.04, I was able to connect easily to my network. However after getting a new router "Linksys WRT610Nv2", I was initially able to set up my wireless "WPA & WPA2 Personal"-encrypted network, but for whatever reason it stopped working completely.
My Asus EeePC 1000H does recognize my network, but its does not want to connect anymore, whatever I try. If I use no encryption, or go wired, everything works well. If I go on other networks everything is ok. I even reinstalled Passwords and Encryption Keys. Other computers (Windows-bad XP and Vista, laptop and desktop [sorry, but working on it to get rid of them!]) have no problems, either wired or wireless connecting with my network. Booting under 9.10, everything works ok as well. In Ubuntu 10.04, going into Network Connections and Edit my network, this is what I see:

Does anyone have a way to use this type of encryption? I have read many posts but have not gotten a solution yet. I am trying to get this to work at a friend's house. I know the SSID and the super-long ascii code (with symbols?). gnome nm and wicd have been useless. I have been connecting to my school's wpa2 using wpa_supplicant + dhclient directly, so I tried adding it in there:
network={
ssid="name"
scan_ssid=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="horribly long thing"
}
What happens is a string of connects and then immediate disconnects when runnign wpa_supplicant. It says "CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - disconnect event - remove keys" then starts all over. Can't get a stable connection but I must be close?

Well I recentelly read some tutorials about "cracking" wep networks, and seems like it's kind of easy ( I Haven't tried'em out since I don't have my laptop right now, but i'll try them as soon as i get it back )So i'd like to change my network protocol to wpa2, but I REALLY GOT NO IDEA on how to do this.Does someone knows about a tutorial on how to do this?

First, I've dinked around with Linux b4 but never really considered it for an everyday desktop machine. After installing the ubuntu 10 release I have to say I am really impressed. This is going to be the kids homework machine!I had one challenge during the installation and that was getting wireless networking going. I set up Win XP first (to get the ndis driver and validate connectivity).After installing ubuntu I could not get the adapter (Netgear N300/USB) to connect to our router (D-Link DIR-825) using WPA2 and AES. Finally I got it to work after setting the router to only TKIP encryption. This works ok but causes the adapter to operate at a lower connection speed

My college runs a WPA2 LEAP secured wireless network, and I am having problems connecting to it under Ubuntu. I can connect to it just fine under Windows, just not under Ubuntu. Under Ubuntu I can connect to other networks such as my home WEP secured wireless network, so it shouldn't be a hardware or driver issue.
When I do connect to the WPA2 LEAP network it recognizes the network and tries to connect, it pops up the login box for me to enter my username and password, but after I click connect it pops back up again about 10 seconds later. It pops up like this about 3 times total, then after the third time it stops trying to connect and the Wireless Network Disconnected message is shown.

I don't know where to put this, or even what I'm looking for.
I've tried for 6 hours today to get my WPA2 wireless to work as a static IP on my laptop to no avail.
Basically I put things in correctly (at least according to that thread) but I get no interent. When I restart I get the correct IP address but no internet pages will load.
The network monitor I have on my panel shows that it is trying to send and receive information, but I can not get my pages to load.
I'm desperately in need of help, but I really don't know how to even ask for it correctly.
But to start here is my interfaces file (one config of about 15 I've tried).
Code:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 10.42.32.113
netmask 255.255.255.0
[Code].....
My router is a linksys WRT54GS. My wireless is set up as WPA2-Personal with the "algorithm" as TKIP+AES.
Its like it wants to connect and gives me an IP. But I just don't get any real web data.
I've restarted and tried restarting just the network.

I've got a BCM 4312 card on a Dell laptop running 10.04 and an Apple Airport network. Since I configured the Airport to use "WPA2 Personal" Authentication, my connection is flaky: it drops for no apparent reason and sometimes I can't connect at all. When authentication is turned off, the connection is rock solid.
Here's an example from the syslog of a failed attempt to connect:
Code:
Oct 26 19:31:24 firefly NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1) starting connection 'Auto Rittenhouse'
Oct 26 19:31:24 firefly NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 0)

I currently have an Atheros a5k 802.11g PCI card and I am looking to upgrade to 802.11n. Are there any cards that support the Atheros chipset (a9k) or something similar? I do have PCIe x16 available if I can go with that. Plus, I could go with an external USB 802.11n wireless adapter, but I'd rather prefer the internal card to save space. I don't mind any PCI/PCIe adapters taking up slots in my motherboard, although I might plan to upgrade to an ATX motherboard so I can have more slots available.

I am using an eeePC with Xubuntu Lucid and I just configured a wireless network to run with WPA & WPA2 (wireless access point NetGear WG103). It tries to connect and then comes back with a request for reentering the passphrase. I have had this once before in a pub. The way I read this the driver is getting confused how to authenticate.

Unsecured and WEP networks are fine. I do not have a WPA network to test on, but my school's WPA2 Eduroam network does not work. It tries to connect before asking again for my credentials, and this repeats. I'm on 64-bit 10.10 Ubuntu upgraded from a live CD install of 10.04. Laptop model is Acer Aspire 5741-5193. Output of lspci:

I've recently installed Lucid Lynx 10.04 on my Dell Studio which uses an internal BCM4315 wi-fi card to connect to the internet. I was hoping it would work upon the install, but deep down I knew I'd have to tweak it a little bit to get it up and running the way I wanted. The card was instantly recognized but, at first, wasn't detecting wireless networks. This was quickly and painlessly fixed using System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, which I used to install Broadcom B43 wireless driver (b43-fwcutter). I rebooted and could not detect the local wireless networks.
I entered my password to my home network (correctly, I quadruple checked) but, unfortunately, it continuously tries to connect to the network with no successful. Occasionally I'm prompted to re-entered the password and the process repeats. The network I'm trying to connect to is a WPA/WPA2 network which I've heard to be troublesome. I haven't yet tried connecting to a WEP network but I'm fairly certain it will work and I will get back to this post when I test it in a few hours.
I'm curious if this question has been answered or if the problem has been solved and I just simply don't have the google skills to find it.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, everything is fine, but the wireless. When I try to connect to my WPA2 protected network, it is grayed out. SO I click Connect to Hidden Wireless Network, and this window pops up. I put in my network name, the security type, and password. It acts like it is connecting, the wireless icon is going up and down. But then another window pops up, saying Authentication required by wireless network and the down arrow is grayed out.
