University Network --> no connection.

English Network/Internet
#1

Right now I am writing you from another country.
The University Network over here lets me connect, but somehow connection breaks while loading (KNetworkManager tells me: IP-Configuration).

The following is the output of dmesg - does anyone of you know if it gives a clue about the wrong system configuration?

E: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec
wlan1: authenticate with AP ffff880139de2a40
wlan1: authenticated
wlan1: associate with AP ffff860132us2a41

I can’t help directly, except to note that googling ‘beacon loss from AP’ reveals many recent kernel bug reports.

This is worth a quick read:

Tracking down wireless problems - openSUSE

It also provides a link to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Reporting_bugs

Thanks - I’ll see what I get out of it. :stuck_out_tongue:

You might want to specify how you have to connect.

Ethernet cable, WiFi, DSL ?

Oh, I almost forgot. I connect via WLAN to a WEP-“secured” network. The University-Computer I am connecting with has an Atherocard build in.
Wonder why it keeps disconnecting after NetworkManager tells me it would configure the IP. Might be due to a missing installment of ndiswrapper? wpa_supplicant is installed by the way and the computer there runs kernel 2.6.27.21-0.1-default.

Forgot to mention that they use an WEP40-“encrypted” network. And to all the guys wondering out there: YES, I do have official permission - it’s our university… :wink:
I just wonder why the heck it keeps timing out my connection when configuring the IP? If anyone knows a cure, please let me know.
