NetworkManager leaves the 'protos' field empty, which allows the supplicant to choose the correct WPA/WPA2 mode depending on driver support. What you see in the NM logs is exactly what gets pushed to the supplicant in the network block. So if you don't see "proto" or "pairwise" or "group" in the NM logs, then it doesn't get pushed to the supplicant, and the supplicant uses its default behavior, which should be: proto=WPA RSN pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
