Bug#687488: debian-installer: LIFEBOOK P7120: association fails with WPA-PSK but works after installation
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Yesterday I tried to install Debian wheezy using my wireless network
(WPA-PSK). The installer was able to show me the list of networks so I
guess the firmware was loaded correctly from the USB stick that I
provided. I entered my password but after a long wait the only error
message I got is
"The exchange of keys and association with the access point
failed. Please check the WPA/WPA2 parameters you provided."
I retried installing with ethernet. After installation the the wireless
network worked just fine when I enabled it from gnome UI. What further
information should I provide? There's no wpa_cli or dbus-send so I don't
feel very comfortable at trying to blindly debug the issue when I don't
know about debian-installer architecture. Here's an overview of the
setup:
