Where does NetworkManager keep its information? There was no /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file. I made one (but don't know how to get PTK passphrases into the file). No change.
I'm not sure mine stores anything anywhere. Every time I connect it asks me for my passphrase information when I attempt to connect.
Not good if you have a really good passphrase! You can be more secure if the passphrase is kept protected on your system and is hard to enter, than have one that is 'easy'to remember and enter.
When I go home and turn the wireless on, I can search my logs to see if it's storing that anywhere and get back to you.
What is NetworkManager using for its 802.1X supplicant code?
I think I can see that it cannot be teh wpa_supplicant. It only supports the ipw2200, I have figured out. Not the ipw3945. So I will uninstall that. The xsupplicant rpm? or something internal?
BTW, I turned on an AP with no security, and connected right to it with NetworkManager. This really tends to narrow my problem to WPA support.
I yum erased wpa*
this not only removed wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_gui, but also NetworkManager and its gnome interface. I then
yum install NetworkManager*
This added wpa_supplicant back in.
rebooted.
I can connect to the AP with no security, but not the one with PSK Passphrase (which needs wpa_supplicant). And the man pages only lists ipw2200, not ipw3945.
So I am suspecting that there is no wpa support for my card?????
