New IWL4935 driver for Intel Wireless Cards does not support WPA2 wireless network with PEAP - MSCHAPV2

New IWL4935 driver for Intel Wireless Cards does not support WPA2 wireless network with PEAP - MSCHAPV2

[Luca Venturini]

Using Ubuntu Hardy Beta, Linux kernel 2.6.24, AMD64.
I have to connect to a campus (University of Verona, Italy; more 
information maybe available at https://wifi.univr.it sadly in Italian 
only, and I am not sure it is reachable from outside the university) 
WPA2 wireless network. It uses PEAP authentication, Dynamic WEP 
encryption, second phase: MSCHAPv2.
It also requires user login, password, and a CA certificate (available 
at the web page I linked above).
At the same page a wpasupplicant configuration file is also available, 
so to allow people to connect from linux also.
In Ubuntu Gutsy 32 bit (Linux kernel 2.6.22.14 if I am not mistaken) I 
was able to connect through NetworkManager and precisely using the GNOME 
nm-applet.
However, since I switched to Linux 2.6.24, I have no more been able to 
connect, whether through NM-applet or from the command line, using 
wpasupplicant. The wireless functions perfectly, and there has been no 
change in its configuration, since I am using it now (Windows Vista, 
configured months ago).
Reported also here on launchpad: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/209602
Thank you for your attention.

You probably want to address this to linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org
instead...

intel wireless just doesn't work on linux 2.6.24.4; wait for 2.6.25.x stable.

I hope, then, that Linux 2.6.25.x stable will be out sooner than 24th 
april (Hardy release date) otherwise I (and I guess also many other 
people) will be in a very bad spot until the kernel is updated...(I am 
not proficient enough so to compile a whole Linux kernel for my distro).
Thank you very much for your attention, in any case.

Hello, Luca!

I'm replying to your message that didn't come to be through a mailing  
list.  Please don't bcc: random people.  It's a bad style.

Quoting Luca Venturini <lucventurini@gmail.com>:

2.6.25.1 will be out after the first bug is fixed in Linux 2.6.25.  I  
cannot promise you that any such bug would exist.  Actually, I hope  
that there will be no reason for 2.6.25.1 release.

In any case, putting pressure on wireless developers is not  
appreciated.  Maybe you should learn how to compile Linux kernels.  Or  
maybe you should talk to Ubuntu release engineers and ask them not to  
wait for 2.6.25.1 (provided that your implication is correct and they  
would wait).

Or perhaps Ubuntu could learn from Debian and do releases when the
software is in a good state rather than at specific predetermined
release dates.  Or fix the bugs themselves and contribute them upstream.

Strangely I find with the 2.6.24 kernel currently in Debian, the intel
wireless seemed to work great with WPA2 (at least on a 4965).  Maybe
that was 2.6.24.2 or 2.6.24.3 or something.  It was a couple of weeks
ago now.  I haven't heard of the 4935 before.

Since nobody has mentioned that, it's possible to compile the latest
wireless drivers for the current kernel (starting with 2.6.18) thanks to
the compat-wireless package:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download

That should be of great help for those looking to use the latest
wireless drivers without having to recompile the currently used kernel.
