Hey, I’ve been struggling with this for days. I’ve searched through these forums and Google with no results.
I’m trying to connect to my secure home wireless network with no luck.
-The network card itself is fine: it can connect to my secure network in my Windows Vista partition and it can connect to a neighbor’s unsecured wireless network.
-My secure network is visible in my network manager. It’s listed under “Available”. I can also connect to it fine on my desktop, which runs Windows 7.
Here is what happens exactly:
When I click on the network, it asks for authentication. I leave it on the default WPA & WPA2 Personal and type in the password correctly. It then proceeds to try connecting. It asks for authentication every 20-30 seconds or so, a couple more times, before it just says that it has been disconnected.
The card is an Atheros AR5001 Wireless Adapter and the laptop is a Sony VAIO. The OS is OpenSUSE 11.3 w/ GNOME setup.
