** Summary changed:
- Kernel module zd1211rw does not probe zd1311rw-mac80211, needed to connect to
WPA network
+ NetworkManager cannot connect to WPA network at first boot
** Description changed:
+ EDIT: I previously thought that the zd1211rw-mac80211 module solved my
+ problem, but I was incorrect.
+
System: Intel Pentium II, 192mb RAM, Ubuntu Feisty w/latest updates
I have a USB wireless card branded as "Canyon CN-WF518 Wireless Network
- Interface USB 2.0 Adapter IEEE 802.11b/802.11g". When plugged in, Feisty
- correctly recognises the card and loads the zd1211rw module and
- NetworkManager can correctly scan wireless networks, but when I try to
- connect to my home network using WPA/WPA2-PSK, the connection can never
- establish correctly.
+ Interface USB 2.0 Adapter IEEE 802.11b/802.11g", using zd1211rw driver.
+ When plugged in, Feisty correctly recognises the card and loads the
+ zd1211rw module successfully. NetworkManager can correctly scan wireless
+ networks, but when I try to connect to my home network using
+ WPA/WPA2-PSK, the connection can never establish correctly the first
+ time. I have installed libpam-keyring and added "@include common-
+ pamkeyring" to /etc/pam.d/gdm.
- By accident I discovered that if I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211, then
- NetworkManager will correctly connect to the WPA network. Can you please
- fix future versions of the kernel to modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211 for my
- USB card to? I'm attaching some relevant logs in an archive (before and
- after I modprobe zd1211rw-mac80211), but this may be all the information
- you need:
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Boot computer with USB wireless card connected
+ 2. Log in to GNOME
+ 3. Wait for NetworkManager to establish connection to wireless network
(preconfigured previously).
+ 4. After waiting for network to connect (the two spheres remain grey),
NetworkManager gives up and disconnects.
+ 5. Click on the NetworkManager applet, then click on my wireless network
(43OGR)
+ 6. The spheres will turn green and the connection will establish correctly.
+
+ This behaviour occurs at every boot, and the network will always connect
+ successfully on the second (manual) attempt. Below is my kernel version
+ and lsusb output, and I attached system logs. However, I am not sure
+ what logs are useful to troubleshoot this issue, so please let me know
+ what you need.
