Networkmanager hell !



Hi,

 I recently compiled the wl driver for my BCM4331 and the driver loads fine.

 Networkmanager lists wifi network but does not connect ! (nm-applet shows a single dot and then keeps revolving around until it fails)

However,

 1. I stop Networkmanager and wpa_supplicant

 2. I generate a simple config using wpa_passphrase

 3. connect via wpa_supplicant -Dwext -cconfig -iwlp4s0

  and it works !

I have tried to google through as much as possible to understand why wpa_supplicant does not connect under NetworkManager but works fine when run stand-alone !

I would appreciate if someone can tell me what is happening. I can send the logs if needed.

Is there a way to debug networkmanager ?

All that I can do by running network-manager from commandline in foreground is

wpa_supplicant[28827]: wlp4s0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="myssid" auth_failures=2 duration=20 reason=CONN_FAILED

Before someone says that this is password issue, i am pretty sure I am typing the password correct and have confirmed it by looking into the system-connections folder for that connection.

If I use another USB adapter, networkmanager is able to connecto the same wifi.

Please ! I am going mad here ! There is no good info anywhere to debug wpa_supplicant working under networkmanager (OR) to dump the config generated by networkmanager
