Software :: Wicd WiFi Connection Fails - Bad Password -wpa2
Nov 27, 2010
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"

I'm using Debian 8 with GNOME 32bit. I installed a driver with ndiswrapper for my old D-Link DWL-G650M.
If i using the default network manager to connect with a Free wifi the connection works fine. But if the wifi have the password the connection doesn't work.
I. using my phone Android to create the Router-Wifi like this:
SSID: AndroidAP5
Password: BillyBob
Encryption(the one allowed): WPA2 PSK
With network manager gnome is impossible to connect. I changed in setting the password type with WPA2 but the system doesn't connect.
I tried to connect manually and i updated the file /etc/network/interfaces as the follow:
Code: Select allauto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-ssid AndroidAP5
wpa-ap-scan 1
wpa-proto RSN
wpa-pairwise CCMP
wpa-group CCMP
wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK
wpa-psk 18[...]
After this I tried to execute the follow command :
Code: Select all/etc/init.d/networking restart
And the system returns:
Code: Select all[ ok ] Restarting networking (via systemctl): networking.service
but nothing else happens. The internet connection doesn't work. The Android phone not detect PC connection IN.

The university I go to uses a WPA2 wireless network that requires a netID and password to connect too. I installed wicd but I can't seem to connect to this network, is there a way to add this functionality to wicd, and if so, how do I do that (links to a how-to or guide would be nice, I've yet to find one).
Also, I spend most of my time on campus in the command line, so I'd like to know if there is a way to use command line utilities to connect to this network (again, a guide or how-to would be nice)
I can get online through my fedora live USB just fine (w/ network manager) but I'd rather get on directly from slackware.

Recently I updated my openSUSE 11.2 and I'm not too sure what all were the recent updates but I suspect networkmanager also got updated. After I restarted my machine, my laptop fails to connect to the wireless access point. I tried both in gnome as well as KDE but the same error. This is the log I found in my /var/log/NetworkManager which I believe should give some pointers.
Code:
Jul 8 15:08:42 AshSuse1520 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) starting connection 'Buckeye Plaza'
Jul 8 15:08:42 AshSuse1520 NetworkManager: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 3 -> 4 (reason 0)
Jul 8 15:08:42 AshSuse1520 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...
[Code]....
I did a search of this error in google and all I got were few results which complained about bugs in some debian distro.
My wireless card works fine and so does the access point I try to connect to since my Ubuntu installation is able to connect fine as well as my windows Xp.

These problems just started the last couple of days but I have been using Lucid 10.04 for a month now. My wireless Signal varies in strength wildly. I sitting at home, not 20 feet from my router. I never had these problems before Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04. I am running both Network Manager and Wicd.
Errors:
1. Wicd states "Wrong Password" which is not true.
2. Dropping off-line for no reason, sometimes 3 or 4 times a minute and sometimes it works fine for hours.
3. Firefox 3.6.3 Automatically Checking "Work Offline"!?
[Code]...
I have the Proper Wireless Drivers. I have not changed my wireless settings, channel or WPA for 8 months now so I know thats not it.

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.

I have Dell Inspiron 1545. It works fine on wired but fails on wireless.
I am using wicd as an interface.
It always comes up with the following error: Connection Failed: Bad password.
I have checked the passwords in both wicd and the router.
They seem to be the same. Am I missing something ?

I have xbmc, a media center shell that runs on ubuntu. I am trying to set up a laptop to run it and be a full time media center. so far it works great, I installed xbmc live, but the only issue is I have a wep2 protected wireless router and the wifi does not connect automatically.
I have it set up and am using wpa_supplicant once those commands are run the wifi works great.I am a novice in linux in general, and can not seem to get this to work on startup, can anyone point me in the right direction on this? I haven't been able to find the xbmc start up script if one exists, I figured adding those lines to it might work,does this sound like a reasonable approach? if anyone knows where that is and how it is defined to be launched on start-up i would appreciate it(I guess this is getting into the general Linux knowledge but still good info)

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.

wicd keeps dropping my wifi connection most of the time I can just tell wicd to reconnect the connection never stays up for more than 10 minuets with out doing other times it looks like it connected when it didn't other times it times out when obtaining the ip address in these 2 cases I have to run "etc/rc.d/rc.wicd restart
then tell it to connect sometimes posting on forums requires me to copy my text hit submit hope the connection is still up maybe restart wicd reconnect.is there a bug in wicd or python ?

On my linux machine, I've enforced a password expiry policy every 45 days. So, today when I tried to ssh to the host, I get the typical "WARNING: Your password has expired". Fine, no big deal. But when I enter my new password and confirm, instead of giving me a login prompt, it tells me passwd all auth tokens updated successfully, then next line, "Connection to <host> closed". I can re-ssh back into that host and all is well from here, but it's a nuisance having to go through the extra step. Is this something in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config somewhere or perhaps a PAM config issue?

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?

NetworkManager is a powerful tool for setting up a wlan connection, especially if you connect the laptop to multiple access points. One drawback is that the user accounts must be given access to the pass
phrase. Another is that there is no wlan connection in run level 3, because nm-applet is an X application.If you connect to the same access point all the time, e.g., your own wireless router, a permanent connection via ifcfg might be more convenient. It is controlled by root. All user accounts have wireless access without knowing the underlying details. Further, there is a wireless connection in run level 3. After a lot of trial and error and Google searches, I was able to put together this guide by splicing together one step used in Slackware (from Alienbob's web page) with other steps outlined in this online article http://home.roadrunner.com/~computer...hwireless.html.
It is assumed that the appropriate kernel module for the wlan card is installed and that
$ iwconfigshows a viable wlan0 interface. We are using DHCP. (If using static IP, edit ifcfg-wlan0.)The following steps work on a Compaq Presario F756NR notebook with a Atheros AR242x 802.11abg WLAN card using the ath5k kernel module (without madwifi). I am using 64-bit F12. All commands are executed as root.1. $ yum install wpa_supplicant dhclientProbably already installed, especially dhclient. If so, skip.2. $ cd /etc/sysconfig && vi wpa_supplicantInsert the following lines:
INTERFACES="-iwlan0"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"
OTHER_ARGS="-f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log"

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.

When trying to connect to a wireless AP, neither wicd or wifi-radar are able to obtain an IP. With wicd, a string of various hex/dec characters flow by, with an eventual error. This happens with both WEP and unencrypted APs (- the hex/dec). With wifi-radar it simply fails, but not every time. NetworkManager connects with zero problems every time; though I prefer to not use NetworkManager, so please spare me of such replies. Someone please tell me why there should be only one wireless manager in Ubuntu that works? I have used wicd since before gutsy gibbon, and it always worked fine until the last two versions, Lucid, and Karmic. What is occurring in Ubuntu which over time breaks these excellent applications? I have tried this with four different wireless cards, and all suffer either identical or similar issues. Those chipsets are Broadcom, two RealTeks, and an Intel.
I really wish to emphasize that this post is not a request for a lecture on why I should use only NetworkManager, or why I should go find another distro. With something like Linux, maybe we could push a little harder, and have maybe say, two, wireless managers that actually work? I would honestly like to see more than two, but one is not enough. It baffles me a bit why new versions of Ubuntu mangle some perfectly good applications, but not others. In IT, surely networking, IP4, WEP, basic wifi technology, etc. has not changed so much that every six months whole new programs should need to be written to connect to a wireless access point. Nor should old ones need much tweaking. What's going on? With such boastings of repositories abundant and brimming with free apps, why does anyone want to make NetworkManager the only app that works?

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

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'm relatively new to Linux. My netbook ran updates yesterday for Ubuntu and now I am unable to reconnect to wireless network connection. I am using WPA2 encrypted security. I am able to connect via wired LAN. Also, when I went to connect using USB mobile connection, I get an error "unable to mount location". I get the same error if I try to connect my external CD drive. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with Gnome desktop (2.22.3) on a Dell Mini 9.My wireless device is using Broadcom STA Wireless driver for an 802.11 wireless card.

I'm reviving an aging Thinkpad X22 by installing Debian and running only in text mode. I've installed wicd to control the wireless network connections. When I run wicd-curses from the cli, it finds the network and I'm able to obtain an IP address. The wireless ESSID that I'm connecting to is encrypted with WPA. I can't seem to figure out how to input the encryption password so I can connect.

My wifi does not work in the actual debian testing jessie lxde amd64 with wicd version (fresh install). What I've done:
0. Fresh testing jessie install (offline and ignored the question for adding iwlwifi)
1. Adding following sources:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
4. modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi
So searching the web just brings up the wheezy way solution (backport new kernel and iwlwifi).
But in this case, actual jessie testing kernel is already installed by default and so the actual 43 firmware-iwlwifi
Some information:
Code: Select all# dpkg -l |grep -i iwlwifi
ii firmware-iwlwifi 0.43 all Binary firmware for Intel Wireless cards
Code: Select all# dmesg | grep wifi
[ 7.890216] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: irq 107 for MSI/MSI-X
[ 8.478878] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
[ 8.479867] iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: loaded firmware version 23.214.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm

I must add: lxde Debian uses Wicd, so network-manager is not installed !
Wicd seems to be the problem. After changing to network-manager, everthing is ok.
Next install with the official Jessie release, i will look, why wicd not work out of the box.

Running ubuntu 10.10 here, brand new install/machine.USB wireless based on a realtek chipset. I spent a few days trying ndiswrapper, and now have the native driver up and running. I can see the network(s) but can't connect. If I encrypt the network, i get a bad password error from wicd network manager (All encypt. methods- Weps, WPA etc) If I open my wireless up with no encryption, i receive a "can't obtain IP" error.

I installed Enlightenment into my machine and, in the course of the installation, Network Manager was removed. I now have no internet connection. I've searched and tried a couple of possible solutions here but I cannot get them to work. When I try to use a downloaded deb file Gdebi cannot install it. It seems that if I re-install Network Manager I'll lose a lot of my Enlightenment installation. What I'd like to do is install Wicd. I dual boot with Win 7 so all is not lost. I understand that there's a way to istall Wicd from the command line without an internet connection but I cannot figure out how to do it.
