    SubjectWeird wireless/wpa_supplicant screw-up.
    From
    Date
    (This could be user error/userspace bug, feel free to point me in the right
    direction if you think so. Hopefully somebody knows what I've broken this
    time...)

    Fedora Rawhide as of this morning, 2.6.33-mmotm0304 kernel, wpa_supplicant-0.6.8-8.fc13.x86_64
    wireless-tools-29-5.1.fc12.x86_64. Dell Latitude E6500, Intel 5100AGN card.

    So I finally get a few spare cycles, and re-try getting WPA2 working on our
    enterprise wireless network, and wpa_supplicant reports it completed
    successfully and set the keys, but 'iwconfig' reports back:

    wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"VT-Wireless"
    Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:F7:14:2A:91
    Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
    Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
    Encryption key:off
    Power Management:off
    Link Quality=42/70 Signal level=-68 dBm
    Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
    Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

    No encryption key. Yee. Hah.

    But wait... 'iwlist keys' reports:

    wlan0 2 key sizes : 40, 104bits
    4 keys available :
    [1]: off
    [2]: 6A7D-5232-BDE6-E40A-71C5-EC21-6399-00F3-5CAD-D394-D1E5-1261-BD99-0115-F4A8-63B2 (256 bits)
    [3]: off
    [4]: off
    Current Transmit Key: [1]

    So we got a perfectly good key, but we're not using it.

    Anybody got any ideas/hints?
