I have a BCM4311 card, and ever since the PCI-E interrupts patch, I've been
able to associate just fine with my own WPA2-PSK access point, using
wpa_supplicant with ap_scan=1.
However, the access points at my school (Purdue) are all WPA-Enterprise with
a hidden SSID, and I so far haven't had any luck getting bcm43xx to connect
to these. If I use ndiswrapper instead, then these APs work as expected.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation in the driver? Has
anyone gotten bcm43xx to work in a hidden-SSID situation?
Here's my wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ap_scan=2
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="PAL2.0"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
ca_cert="/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
identity="pmarks"
password="..."
}
Here's the output from wpa_supplicant:
