I'm running openvpn-2.1-0.28.rc9.fc10.i386 I'm happy to assist with any debugging. FWIW, wpa_supplicant.log gets CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS on executing /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service as root. In that log, I see Trying to associate with 00:18:4d:88:55:c2 (SSID='Netgear' freq=2462 MHz) Associated with 00:18:4d:88:55:c2 CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:18:4d:88:55:c2 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=] CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS .... _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
