Description Chris (reporter) 2010-05-08 10:19:22 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
(Settings > General > About product)

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
(Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message
Connection Failed appears))
1. Try to connect to a WPA-PSK AP
2. The N900 will ask for a WEP key (instead of WPA)
3. 

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
It should ask for a WPA key.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
It is impossible to connect to the access point.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
(always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10)

always.

EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED:

OTHER COMMENTS:
The default config on my AP is WPA2-PSK/AES. I have tried switching to
WPA-PSK/TKIP but it did not help. I played with the AP configuration but it is
always detected as WEP by the N900. The only solution for now is to actually
set my AP to use WEP.

Comment 3 Chris (reporter) 2010-05-08 10:25:11 UTC

I forgot to mention that my AP is a TP-LINK TL-WR841N (802.11n). It works just
fine on my home laptops and netbooks (running Ubuntu or Fedora).

Thanks, from the log it seems that the WPS information element parsing fails
and it makes WPA unusable leaving only WEP as an option.

Note that PR 1.2 does not fix the issue.
