Bug#617694: general: rt2860sta reconnect fails wpa2 enterprise peap
 

Package: general
Severity: normal

hi,
When reconnect to a wpa2 enterprise peap wireless network the network-manager
doesn't get connection.
The solution I have tested is: right click in network-manager, disable
wireless, modprobe -r rt2860sta, load the module again, and enable wireless
in network-manager, then it works

does it happen to anyone?

Greetings

Oh, sheesh, that definitely shouldn't be necessary.

So here's what we'll need in order to fix this:

Please try the newest kernel from squeeze, and attach output from
"reportbug -p linux-image-$(uname -r)" so we can get to know your
hardware better.

If it still exhibits the problem, please also try a 3.1.y kernel from
sid. The only packages from outside squeeze you should need in order
to do this are the kernel image itself, initramfs-tools, and
linux-base.

Then, if the 3.x kernel exhibits the same trouble, we can work on
reporting this upstream[*]. And if it does not exhibit the same
trouble, we can try a few kernels halfway between from
http://snapshot.debian.org/ in order to find when the fix was
introduced, and then apply that patch to squeeze.

What do you think? Thanks for reporting it, and good luck.

Regards,
Jonathan

I'm afraid that's not going to help us to fix the bug in squeeze,
because the rt2800pci driver has replaced rt2860sta.

But it might solve the problem for reydecopas, if he/she is happy to run
kernel versions from testing/unstable.

Ben.
