So, made the switch from Windows to Linux, this is the only problem I've had so far. I'm running the latest release; (10.04?)
My wireless card works just fine on WEP and Unsecured networks. However, I cannot connect to my University's WPA2 Enterprise network. The Network Manager attempts to authenticate, and times out. When I was running Win7, I could connect just fine, so I know the card's compatible on that end.
I've tried WICD, no change. I've tried the wpa_gui, it shows no adapter and can't connect to wpa_supplicant.
According to lshw -c network, the card is seen and is functional on my home network, a WEP secured network. It shows ath9k as the driver.
Code:
chris@chris-netbook:~/Desktop$ lshw -c network

Something I saw of note that might mean something;
Code:
chris@chris-netbook:~/Desktop$ lsmod | grep ath9k
ath9k 306138 0
mac80211 205402 1 ath9k
ath 7611 1 ath9k
cfg80211 126496 3 ath9k,mac80211,ath
led_class 2864 1 ath9k
With each instance of ath9k showing in red. Being new to the system, I have no idea what that means. The Used By 0 tends to make me think that something might be amiss.But I don't really know.
My intuition tells me something is up with wpa_supplicant, but I really can't say that with any confidence. I've done a pretty comprehensive search regime on anything I could think of relating to this, and haven't found anything that's been able to help me.
Any help is much appreciated, if more information would help, let me know and I'll provide.
