Re: Problem in associating with a given AP

Hi,

I believe that this is the extract of the log file that you are looking for. It shows that only the essid, scan_ssid and key_mgmt are written into the configuration file for the supplicant, and not the BSSID of the AP. Please let me know if there is something else that you may need.

Can you post some logs from NM that show what's going on?  Usually they
go to /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log.
