At home I have a wireless network setup using WPA authentication and I can connect to it without problems. Yesterday I was at the airport which has a free public access wireless. I turned off wpa_supplicant, configured the wireless network for auto everything except the ssid which was set to the airport's wireless ssid. I started the network and ran iwlist wlan0 scan to see what networks where available. About a dozen showed up, only a few of which where the airport's wireless. Despite seeing available wireless networks I never succeeded in connecting to any. I tried specifying the channel number, nothing. I booted up my laptop on Windows XP and it connected immediately.
I arrived at my parents' house last night and tried to connect to their wireless network. I had the exact same problem. In my parents' case iwlist wlan0 scan showed only 1 network, theirs. I have been able to connect to my parents' wireless fine previously. I booted up on Windows XP and I connected immediately. This email is being sent from XP so I don't have access to the logs, but what I saw from running wireshark and tailing the messages file was that my laptop was sending out DHCP request and discover messages, but I never saw any replies.
Since I can connect with XP the problem is not the hardware, does any one have any ideas as to what to try? Any thoughts are appreciated.
Is wireless support improved in F12 and would this be an option?
Thanks,
Paolo
