NM launches a private copy of wpa_supplicant to make connections. Therefore, if you're already running wpa_supplicant as a daemon, the two instances of wpa_supplicant will not behave well together. You only need to stop NetworkManager if you wish to use wpa_supplicant for some combination of options that NM does not yet support, or if you are trying to debug a connection issue like we are here. Taking NM out of the equation tells us if the problem lies with NM, or with wpa_supplicant+driver. > b) I know - WPA-Enterprise with TTLS and PAP is not supported at the > moment.
