I have a Lenovo T61 with an Atheros 5212 card running Fedora 8 on a Maxtor external USB hard drive. I boot off of the USB hard drive and everything has been working fine except that I can't get the wireless connection to consistently work. I have installed NetManager and madwifi and have been able to successfully connect to a WPA access point (requiring a password) exactly once. My /etc/pam.d/gdm file looks like this:
#%PAM-1.0 auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth required pam_env.so auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass auth include system-auth auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session required pam_selinux.so close session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session optional pam_keyring.so and my gnome keyring (what a quirky and user-unfriendly program) password and my login password are identical. According to the suggestion found here http://paulsdigitalworld.blogspot.com/2007/11/ubuntu-fedora-linux-hardware-working.html I moved /etc/rc5.d/S12wpa_supplicant to /etc/rc5.d/S94wpa_supplicant Since my one successful connection I have had no luck. Whenever I attempt to connect, a window pops up asking for the WPA password; I enter the correct password, it churns for a minute and then asks for the password again. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
