Thread: Cannot connect to WPA2 PEAP after Karmic upgrade


hi, upgraded kubuntu 9.10 64-bit , works far except wireless connectivity. wep network @ home works, university network uses wpa2 peap. while took me few days figure out how connect while using jaunty, did end connecting network (i had select each ssl cert manually until found right one, /etc/ssl/certs/thawte_premium_server_ca.pem... why can windows , os x auto-select certificate ubuntu can't?), cannot connect @ using same settings before (same ssl cert, same username/password, etc.), not same network manager since rewritten in kubuntu 9.10. thought i'd downgrade knetworkmanager old version back, , did adding official jaunty packages in /etc/apt/sources.list, installed knetworkmanager, while let me set new connections preferences, stores these connection preferences never uses them (ie, never touches network interface). running root didn't help.
thought downgrade backend too, installed old 0.7 network-manager package , tried using knetworkmanager, didn't work either.
removed jaunty packages source, reupgraded karmic version, , i'm square one: wep network works, wpa doesn't. tried installing wicd, couldn't connect home wireless (wep) network @ (dhclient times out), didn't try on wpa network yet. it's weird because can connect home network fine command line (ifconfig eth2 down, iwconfig eth2 essid myneworkname, iwconfig eth2 channel 11, iwconfig eth2 key mywepkey, ifconfig eth2 up, dhclient eth2).

i'm running kubuntu 9.10 64-bit on macbook pro 5,3 restricted broadcom sta drivers enabled. should do?

ifconfig:
