The university I attend has a campus wide wireless network which uses WPA2 Enterprise encryption along with PEAP type authentication. Using draknetcenter, I cannot connect to the network and connection attempts always result in "connection failed" error messages. Wireless does work at home using WPA2 personal without any fancy authentication mechanism (although other issues have crept up since the switch to free driver but other bug reports have been filed). I don't believe it's the driver since this didn't work in MGA2 using the closed driver. However, I can connect using network manager which points to a problem with Mageia's network module. My computer is equipped with BCM4313 chipset using BCMA (more precisely the BRCMSMAC module) but I don't think that is the problem since the b43 module failed as well back in mageia 2.

What about the patch in bug #8577?

Has this patch been pushed to the users yet? I have a cauldron installation fully up to date as of this morning and connection still fails. I've tried both PEAP and PEAP TTLS and both result in a failed connection. Setting EAP Mode to auto-detect also doesn't work.
Ok go ahead and close this bug. I can now connect to the university wireless using drakx-net. I'm not sure why it wasn't working on february 21st when the patch you submitted was on the 19th. But it now works and that's all the matters.
