Starling Wireless

[Kevin Fries]

Just so everyone can see what I am seeing, and hopefully what I am not
seeing...

I start a tail -f on syslog->messages, and record any new messages while I
try to connect to our internal WAP54:

Feb 17 14:42:55 system76-netbook kernel: [20736.047238] rtl8187B: ISLeave():

OFF!

It turns the radio on, finds the access point, tries to connect, indicates
Associated successfully, tries the TKIP then tries it again, finally failing
and turning the radio off.  So, I suspect its a WAP/TKIP in Karmic Koala
problem, not a starling problem.

Anyone else see why this don't work?

Thx
Kevin
