Hi, I'm having difficulty connecting to a WPA2 enterprise network. The system is fine connecting to standard WPA and open networks, but refuses to connect to my school's WPA2 network. We tried with another machine using different wireless chipset and that works fine. When connecting my syslog fills with the following messages: Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.678837] wlan0: direct probe to AP c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 (try 1) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.876159] wlan0: direct probe to AP c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 (try 2) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.882235] wlan0: direct probe responded Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.882249] wlan0: authenticate with AP c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 (try 1) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.884259] wlan0: authenticated Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.884326] wlan0: associate with AP c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 (try 1) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.886698] wlan0: RX AssocResp from c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 (capab=0x431 status=13 aid=0) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.886709] wlan0: AP denied association (code=13) Oct 4 08:14:40 debian-eeepc kernel: [ 265.886748] wlan0: deauthenticating from c4:7d:4f:8a:3b:40 by local choice (reason=3) Regarding the wireless network device inside my netbook, here is output of lspci: 01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) When I google Atheros Ar9285 with WPA2 I learn that there are problems with this device. I came across the following link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244686 I should also say that I tested this machine with a live version of ubuntu off the cd, with kernel 2.6.35 and experienced exactly the same problems. I'm using wpasupplicant to connect, as well as tried with the gui on ubuntu. No luck with any. I'm running debian Testing (Squeeze), and kernel version: Linux debian-eeepc 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Oct 30 22:47:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux I believe a possible solution is to use backports as suggested by the page I pasted I believe. Is this the best solution? If so how can I apply it to a debian system? Does it look like there is a problem with the atheros drivers for this device...? Finally, if required below my name is my Wpa_supplicant configuration along with my /etc/network/interfaces file. If anyone can assist me with this issue I'd greatly appreciate it!
