nwam still broken on OpenSolaris 2008.11 release candidate snv_101a_rc1b.
At least it's not regression--nwam has never worked for me :-).
Here's some past history:
1. First I was told my wifi chipset wasn't supported (Atheros).
2. Next, when it was supported, I was told WPA encryption wasn't supported.
3. Next, when WPA was supported, I was told my pass phrase was too long (it's
38 characters).
That's were I stand today. It still doesn't work with the latest release
candidate.
Wifi works find with Windows XP on the same laptop.
It even works with a hand-crafted shell script that uses dladm(1M).
But, not with NWAM!
The problems are:
1. It asks for a "username". There is no username on my wifi network. I just
type in the passphrase for my ESSID.
2. I try a fake username "foobar" and I get this message after waiting a minute:
Automatic Network Configuration Daer
Failed to initiate connection to wireless network.
I'm not here just to complain--I really would like for NWAM to work someday.
I'll run debug scripts or turn on logging--just tell me what I can do!
