Wireless Connectivity - Hot Spot vs Corp
I have not been able to get my Debian stretch 9.3 to connect to corporate APs.
I am using wpa_supplicant for networking. The laptop can connect by tethering to my cell phone. I have tried connecting to secured networks using a passphrase and to open networks.
Below are two examples, the first being an unsuccessful attempt to an open network (Holiday Inn). I tried both the SSIDs on different runs with no success. The second example is the successful connection to a cell phone.
The results are 'significantly' different, and I cannot figure out why.
I would appreciate any suggestions to help move past this.
