I'll try removing the config for the whole thing and see how it works, |
| 41 |
but NetworkManager has problems launching wpa_supplicant (or |
| 42 |
controlling it at least) using DBUS, and that has not been solved yet, |
| 43 |
so I won't bet on it. I'm not with my EEE right now, so, as soon as I |
| 44 |
get home... |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
All I need is to know if you can actually use WPA, store the keys, |
| 47 |
reboot, and try again, with the same SSID, it fails for me all the |
| 48 |
time. (and var log messages says "couldn't connect to the |
| 49 |
supplicant"). |
