RT3090 Cannot Connect to WPA2 Network
Dec 12th 2012, 07:36

Hi. I'm new to openSUSE and I'm quickly becoming a fan. :smile:

My laptop's Ralink RT3090 chipset seems to be having trouble connecting to WPA2 enterprise networks only under openSUSE 12.2. (I can connect to my unencrypted home network successfully) In NetworkManager I enter the login details (PEAP authentication, district-wide username and password) and try to connect. The NM icon does not change (still shows disconnected icon) and after a ~30-second delay I'm prompted for the same information. Rinse and repeat, of course. :p

Since this is only a problem with openSUSE my guess is that a newer kernel will do the trick. (Ubuntu w/ 3.5 kernel, Fedora 18 beta w/ 3.6 works) If I'm right, I'd appreciate feedback on how to upgrade to a newer kernel (Tumbleweed, if I must) and I'll be on my way. If I'm wrong, I'd love to hear your ideas. (Except compiling Ralink's unmaintained drivers - that didn't work.) Googling hasn't proven helpful (yet) and the stickied threads seem to apply to general connectivity, not specifically issues with WPA.

Some console output:

Code:

# uname -r
3.4.11-2.16-desktop

Code:

# /sbin/lspci -v
...

I'll get some dmesg output tomorrow at school. Let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you! :cool:
