This was an enormous waste of time. I'm not sure at what level the issue was, but it centred around having single quote and space in passphrase (which was a real phrase). When I removed these, and made passphrase pure alphanumeric, it worked fine.
I only discovered this after switching to WEP and running ifup/ifdown and noticing in the usual ifup/ifdown chatter something like: (paraphrasing - neglected to log since I was over VNC on my mom's account due to polkit making network-admin + ssh -YC or nxclient unusable) iwconfig - unterminated string and, when I removed the ' iwconfig - unknown parameter "XXXXX" (where XXXXX was the 2nd word in the passphrase following the space) Extremely frustrating and I'm sure I'm not the only one who will run into this. After discovering this, I verified that pure alphanumeric passphrases worked with both WEP and WPA-PSK. With quote or space, failed in both with incomprehensible errors in dmesg. -- iwl3945 does not associate in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
