I had networkmanager working nicely with wpa and with wep under Fedora 6. When I upgraded to Fedora 8 I could NOT get networkmanager to work with wpa. After following the directions in http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mdc1/fedora_wireless.html I can manually get it to work by running: wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 with wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel #Taking examples from /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7/wpa_supplicant.conf eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 # WIRELESS-PITTNET network block network={ ssid="WIRELESS-PITTNET" scan_ssid=1 proto=WPA RSN key_mgmt=WPA-EAP eap=PEAP pairwise=CCMP TKIP identity="rab45" password="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" ca_cert="/etc/pki/tls/cert.pem" # subject_match="/C=GB/L=York/O=University of York/OU=Computing Service/OU=Terms of use at www.verisign.co.uk/rpa (c)05/OU=Authenticated by VeriSign/OU=Member, VeriSign Trust Network/CN=nasaaa1.york.ac.uk" phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" # priority=5 } I have no idea what the function of the "subject_match" line is but I've commented it out and I'm able to connect (after doing an "Activate" in the network gui tool). If I enable networkmanager, it brings up a panel with most of the info showing from the config file BUT not showing the cert.pem for the certificate. When I look in /etc/pki/tls, I can see cert.pem linked to a .crt file in the certs directory: [root@localhost tls]# ll total 44 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-12-29 03:21 cert.pem -> certs/ca-bundle.crt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-01-16 08:51 certs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-12-29 03:21 misc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9576 2007-10-15 11:20 openssl.cnf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-10-15 17:55 private But if I try to get to cert.pem using the WPA supplicant gui panel that pops up, cert.pem never shows up (nothing can be seen in the directory from this panel). Is this a bug in networkmanager under Fedora 8? I never had to specify a certificate file using networkmanager under Fedora 6. [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qv NetworkManager NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3138.fc8 NetworkManager works OK with my home wep network - although it screws up when I'm connected to the wired network at the office (under Fedora 6 this all worked seamlessly).
