wifi problem: WPA configured, but is untested and no IP adress assigned

English Network/Internet

Hello,
I am using opensuse 12.2 on a laptop. The information on my wireless card (lspci | grep -i wireless) is : Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01).
When using a wifi without encryption, I don’t have any problem, but I tried to use a WPA2 connection today and the connection seems to fail. When I ifup wlan0, I have the following message:
wlan0 name: Broadcom WLAN controller
wlan0 warning: WPA configured, but is untested
wlan0 warning: with this device
wlan0 starting wpa_supplicant
Starting DHCP4 client on wlan0. . . . . . . .
wlan0 DHCP4 continues in background
And no connection at the end. And in parallel yast has become incredibly slow (I don’t know if there is any link, but it began being slow when I tried this connection).
Do you have any idea of what the problem is ? If you need any information I would be glad answer !
Thank you
Cécile

There are 3 drivers that work with the BCM4313. All 3 work with WPA2.

That message can be ignored. If you so not want to see it, switch to
NetworkManager, which is the preferred way to handle wireless devices.

Hello,
My problem is not that I have this warning but that no IP adress is assigned. I just thought it was linked to the warning, but maybe it is not.

It is not.
