WPA2-net recognised as WEP and therefore not correct configuration possible

Which version of Kubuntu you have?
The 6.10 was not able to use the wpa2 protocol with ubuntu, to use it You must install wpa_suppliciant and configure it manually. In order to resolve this problem You can use Network-Manager that install the neccesary lib to use WPA2 with gui tools.
This is a simple example of wpa_suppliciant file configured to work wirh WPA2-EAP:

--- /etc/wpa_suppliciant/wpa_suppliciant.conf ---
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0 network={
ssid="you ssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA2
key_mgmt=WPA2-EAP
auth_alg=OPEN
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TLS
identity="your name"
password="your password"
ca_cert="your certificate"
#client_cert=""
private_key="your certificate"
private_key_passwd="certificate password"
}

i use xubuntu7.04. wpa_suppliciant is installed. (There is a networkmanager for xubuntu too, but only proposes WEP, while knetworkmanager proposes WPA too. But that might be the same problem, that i have with knetworkmanager now.)

Is there a gui-tool to configure it? (I would say knetworkmanager is that gui???)I use WPA2-Personal so i don't think there are any certificates involved. Do you have a samplefile for that too?

thanks in advance,
Stephan

Way you use knetowrk manager on xubuntu, I know xubuntu 7.04 has the networkmanager installed by default. Is not therefore ?
I know this how-to:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager

It explain well what you can do.

Thanks

like i said, the preinstalled networkmanager only suggests WEP, not WPA. The how-to was of no help for my problem.
I tend to think it's a driver problem with my wireless card.

Thanks for your help,
Stephan

Post the result of this:

sudo lshw -C net

I try to know your cipset network card

Thanks.

You can use a ubuntu 7.04 live cd, please. I want to understand because the NetworkManager of xubuntu have not a WPA2 support. I'm using a ubuntu 7.04 live cd and it has the wpa2 support.
I wait your test

thanks

i just check with ubuntu7.04 live cd. The same problem, WPA is not an option in the networkmanager. Do you want a screenshot?

Thanks,
Stephan

No, I belive.

I want to now if you do (after start Ubuntu 7.04 live cd):

1) left click on NetworkManager Icon

2) Connect another wireless network

3) in the windows open click on emergency wireless

Thanks

after i click on 'connect another wireless network' a dialog appears asking me for name and encryption of that new network. Only three variants of WEP are proposed. I don't see anything like 'emergency wireless'.

Thanks,
Stephan

Post the result of:

lsmod

thanks

Probably you have not laoded the correct driver.

The problem is the rt61 module in ubuntu 2.6.20-15 kernel, here the solution that i have found in ubuntuforum.org:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! everyone!

Just yesterday I've upgraded to FF, and of course had problems with my Wireless card. In Edgy I had rt61 driver compiled from source RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.0.

In kernel 2.6.20 the package wouldn't compile, and Ubuntu shipped rt61 driver is not working properly.

I tried different howtos on this forum, but none has worked for me to enable WPA, so i did this:

in file:
/RT61_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.0/Module/rtmp_main.c

comment out line 197, it should look like this:

#if WIRELESS_EXT >= 12
// net_dev->get_wireless_stats = RT61_get_wireless_stats;
net_dev->wireless_handlers = (struct iw_handler_def *) &rt61_iw_handler_def;
#endif

then run:
make

and driver is ready tu use

I copied mine to:
sudo cp rt61.ko /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/ubuntu/wireless/rt2x00-legacy/rt61/rt61.ko

and run:
sudo modprobe -r rt61
sudo modprobe rt61

then:
sudo ifdown ra0
sudo ifup ra0

and that's it!

It works - and the best proof is that i'm writing this post!

Sorry for my english
Cheers!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks.

I open a bug for your situation, the kernel team ask to do this on shell:

uname -a > uname-a.log command

lspci -vvn > lspci-vvn.log command

lspci -vv > lscpi-vv.log command

dmesg > dmesg.log command

cat /proc/version > proc_version.log command

This command will create a file in your home directory. You can upload these file on your bug at this link:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/110312/+addcomment

Thanks

Done.

Thanks,
Stephan
