SMC 2804WBR PEAP not working

[Ionut Nistor]

Hello,   I am trying to configure a SMC 2804WBR (european V2) AP and an internal WiFi NIC on my laptop for WPA/PEAP network access. No matter what I tried, the login would fail. After dumping some network packets, it seems that, after the identity is sent Freeradius (in an access-request radius packet), it replies with the challenge but nothing happens afterwards.   Also, dumping packets on the wireless side, it seems that the challenge does not reach the NIC on the laptop. The login fails after ~10 seconds of inactivity.   Looking through the posts, I found some other people reporting a problem with SMC APs when using PEAP. Pavol Zibrita mentioned this issue in the 'TLS Setup' post a couple of days ago.   Is there any solution? (aside from using EAP/TLS which Pavol says works with SMC)   I did not provide network/debug dumps to keep this post small.   Thank you, Ionut
