I'll note that wpa_supplicant itself uses a timeout of 70 seconds for WPA authentication. You can see this if you monitor the supplicant using wpa_cli while the supplicant authenticates. As another data point, on my AI TouchBook with RAlink RT3070, it frequently takes much longer than 30 seconds to authenticate to my WPA-EAP network. I don't know that there's any specific reason other than that there's a lot of other networks in the neighborhood and a lot of interference. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/ _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
