I have a bit more info regarding the problem with WPA2 encryption on an N PHY. As shown in the NetworkManager log attached, Authentication is successful, but DHCP fails. Either the transmit data is improperly encrypted, or the decryption fails. I will use wireshark to sort that out. Note: Using software encryption makes no difference. Larry
