Hi all. I have posted my query at * http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4527255&posted=1#post4527255 *
but think that it might be more relevant at this list. Anyways, I will be grateful for help from either side :-| For brevity, here is the query detail :: Hi all. Let me confess at the beginning, that this is my first major networking assignment; so the terminology might not be absolutely adequate. However, I will try my level best to explain my requirements, and the steps that I have already taken. So, my motive is to allocate a network-connection on Fedora 14, using WPA/WPA2 enterprise authentication. I have a F14 base machine, and a F11 virtual-image hosted in a VirtualBox. Now, I have been able to carry out the stages of installing, configuring and testing a Freeradius server (which provides RADIUS authentication protocol) using the links :: *http://olex.openlogic.com/wazi/2011/...th-freeradius/<http://olex.openlogic.com/wazi/2011/authenticating-wi-fi-users-with-freeradius/> * *http://deployingradius.com/scripts/eapol_test/* The Freeradius server is running on my F14 machine. Also, I have been able to carry out the testing both locally, and remotely (with the aid of F11 machine), with the Freeradius server. Now.. comes the actual thing.... I have a router, on which I have set WPA/WPA2 enterprise authentication, using TKIP/AES protocol. Upon rebooting the router firmware, I am no longer able to connect (on either of F14 or F11) via the wireless interface. I am however, able to connect (on both F14 or F11), if I connect a two-jack-wire, with one jack into the router, and another jack on my F14 laptop (remebering that F11 is a virtually hosted image). Now, I intend to do the testing for connecting to the network via wireless interface. I believe :: *a. That I continue to need the two-jack-wire, so as to provide a network-communication medium between the router, and the Freeradius server (which is running on my F14-laptop). b. To actually test connecting to the network via wireless interface, I need to somehow be able to have two connections simultaneously (one which I already have of the wired connection). Assuming part a. is true, how can b. be accomplished?* I am using NetworkManager as the backend, and nm-applet as the frontend, to manage connections. Just for brevity, *lspci* lists two interfaces (amongst others) - one for ethernet; other for wireless. 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1) So, I think, the following question summarises all my queries :: How to have simultaneous *wired connection* and *wireless connection* on Fedora 14? Looking forward to some enlightenment. Regards, Ajay
