I've seen that on both my AC100's internal Wifi and on my Chromebook with a Wifi dongle. Both use NetworkManager. This depends very much on how your WPA2 Enterprise setup is. Some examples where time sync is more or less important: - validity period of EAP/TLS certs - Kerberos authentication At home with WPA2 Personal (?) it works without problems, independent of the clock. WPA2 Personal is pretty simple. I also doubt that this has anything to do with RPi or ARM. Yep.

I have WLAN troubles with wickedd setup on several non-ARM platforms where NetworkManager simply works: - openSUSE 13.2 x86_64 (1. notebook) - openSUSE Factory x86_64 (2. notebook) I'm running openSUSE Factory_ARM on rasperry pi (with a USB WLAN adapter) just fine with hostapd. Not tried it as normal WLAN client with wickedd yet. Ciao, Michael. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

I also doubt that this has anything to do with RPi or ARM. The two AP's are *not* configured the same. In your first E-mail, you said that one uses TKIP and the other uses CCMP. That usually means WPA for the TKIP case, and WPA2 for CCMP or AES. Please supply the output of 'ps ax | grep wpa_supplicant'. Also, please supply the output of 'sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan' or 'sudo iw wlan0 scan'. If the device has a name other than wlan0, adjust the second command accordingly. It would be helpful if you identified the wireless device and driver. I have no experience with wicked, but I suspect it is the problem. To my knowledge, all wifi drivers handle both WPA and WPA2 encryption correctly.

[opensuse-arm] Wi-Fi connections on Raspberry Pi 1 B
Hi all, I have a strange problem with Wi-Fi connections to two somewhat different Access Points. Both use the same configuration in YaST network, apart from SSID and IP address. Still the connection does succeed with one AP, but to the other AP it always fails. Using iwlist wlan0 scan the only obvious difference is that one reports to use CCMP, the one which succeeds, and the other uses TKIP, which does not succeed. In the information I found on the Internet I see that the configuration for wpa_supplicant may contain information about the support/use of these protocols. However the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf does not contain this information, but the process wpa_supplicant has been started with the -u option, which enables a DBus control interface. So I assume that this kind of information will be supplied by wicked. However I can't find if TKIP is supported in openSUSE 13.2 for the the Raspberry Pi. Any information? -- fr.gr.

I don't think any of that code is RPi/Arm specific. I assume your Wifi dongle is USB based. If so, have you tried to attach it to an x86 system with 13.2 to narrow it down?
