Mandriva, NetGear WPN511 & WPA-PSK

    I recently bought a copy of Mandriva Powerpack 2006. It is impressive although it does have distinct disadvantages to SuSE. With SuSE my NetGear WiFi adaptor can connect to my WPA-protected network. Yet with Mandriva, it fails to connect. It will connect if I switch to WEP or just turn off the encryption altogether. I have no idea how to make it work and am looking for suggestions.

    Hi,

    If your using a netgear router the first thing I would try in your situation would be upgrading the firmware.

    I am having a similair but not 100% same prob as you are. Using Mandriva 2006 with a Netgear DG834GT / intel pro wlan 2100 and have had a issue where sometimes it point blank refuses to connect.

    However once it does actually connect it works fine till reboot. I havent had a lot of time to look at it yet but think it may be related to sit0 and ipv4-ipv6 as switching that on/off/on seems to work more than anything else. The only WEP prob I have had is it dropping the wep key which has happened twice.

    While were on this subject do you know of a good range pci wlan card that likes both netgear routers and mandriva 06 ?

    PS not trying to thread hi-jack just saw your one right before I went to post and figured that they covered similiair ground. Hope you dont mind.

    Regards,

    I dont mind at all, but my problem seems to be related to WPA_Supplicant. When checking the various error logs there are errors saying "association with xxxx failed" where xxx is my SSID. And mandriva 06 will work fine with most network cards and will work with the windows drivers via ndiswrapper.

    re the WPA problem (if you havent already).
