Network Manager enabling 802.11r - fast Transition

All, Perhaps I'm missing something, but do not see a UI option to enable 802.11r. I can edit the /etc/system/NetworkManager/ and manally set the key-mgmt: [wifi-security] key-mgmt=FT-EAP FT-EAP-SHA384 Then restart NM and this works (yes provided the driver supports, which it does). FYI

Re: Frequent network drops (NM, FC29)?

Derek, I'll preface this by stating I'm no progammer, or expert on NM. I didn't see any response, this looks like wpa_supplicant and the chip didn't communicate - Right after CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED, I usually see something like this, never bgscan messages. May  5 11:31:43 Tuxedo1 wpa_supplicant[

Re: wifi permanently switching between 2.4 and 5 GHz

Michael, One view of band-steering is to ensure 5Ghz always looks better by ensuring 5Ghz transmits at 6-8dB higher than 2.4Ghz .Some band-steering mechanisms rely on exactly this. usually it's desired that all clients connect 5ghz. "I think there should be some treshold that avoids switching be

NM and exposing bgscan roam threshold

All, I see some great work in the latest 1.8.6 - thank you !!! * Implemented support for Wi-Fi PMF (Protected Management Frames,     802.11w), which can be configured via the wifi-sec.pmf property. * Background scanning is now disabled for non-WPA-Enterprise Wi-Fi     networks * Always enable

Re: Backing up Connectitons

This would be handy, especially when companies develop a VPN solution, and want to distribute client VPN profiles, like openvpn. the user receives a bundle via USB in the security office containing that user's cert/key. If one could develop the working profile, export in some editable format, ba

New option parameters

All, After reading the great efforts to include WOL and other parameters into NM, I'm wondering if there is interest in adding a few additional parameters that are becoming more interesting for larger enterprise users * 802.11w MFP- wpa_supplicant - # PMF enabled: ieee80211w=1 and key_m

Re: Passing wpa_supplicant parameters through NetworkManager

Dan, Thanks for the reply. It would be great if 802.11w would be added to the NM UI, how does one get this filed as an official "feature" or change request ? I'll read the NM wiki. thanks Shawn On 15.08.2016 19:05, Dan Williams wrote: > On Sun, 2016-08-14 at 22:40

Passing wpa_supplicant parameters through NetworkManager

Hello, I'm interested in learning if it's possible to pass wpa_supplicant parameters directly from the NetworkManager configuration files to wpa_supplicant. The immediate need is to test 802.11w using chipsets which do support 802.11w, and the wpa_supplicant compiled with support. PMF enabled:
