I had exactly the same problem, so I checked the MTU of my wireless interface and noticed that it was set to 1280. After issuing ifconfig <wlan-interface> mtu 1500 the wpa connection works again. But, after being connected some time, the MTU decreases again to 1280. The reason in my setup seems to be some strange behaviour of NetworkManager and IPv6: Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> address xxx.xxx.xxx.160 Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> plen 23 (255.255.254.0) Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.252 Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> server identifier xxx.xxx.xxx.252 Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> lease time 1200 Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> nameserver 'xxx.xxx.xxx.253' Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> domain name 'xxx.de' Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <info> (wlp2s0): DHCPv4 state changed bound -> bound Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <warn> (wlp2s0): Lowering IPv6 MTU (1500) to match device MTU (0) Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <warn> (wlp2s0): IPv6 MTU (0) smaller than 1280, adjusting Dec 7 13:46:31 rank-Latitude-E4310 NetworkManager[731]: <warn> (wlp2s0): Raising device MTU (0) to match IPv6 MTU (1280) Since we have no IPv6 in our WLAN, I disabled IPv6 for the connection in NetworkManager. Unfortunately, this does not change anything - after the first DHCP renewal, the MTU is set to 1280 again ... This calls for further investigation ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1501588 Title: Wily's wpasupplicant frequently fails on WPA enterprise networks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hostap/+bug/1501588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
