Hi all.
I have posted my query at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4527255&posted=1#post4527255
but think that it might be more relevant at this list. Anyways, I will be grateful for help from either side :-|
For brevity, here is the query detail ::
Hi all.
Let me confess at the beginning, that this is my first major networking
assignment; so the terminology might not be absolutely adequate.
However, I will try my level best to explain my requirements, and the
steps that I have already taken.
So,
my motive is to allocate a network-connection on Fedora 14, using
WPA/WPA2 enterprise authentication. I have a F14 base machine, and a F11
virtual-image hosted in a VirtualBox.
Now, I have been able to carry out the stages of installing, configuring
and testing a Freeradius server (which provides RADIUS authentication
protocol) using the links ::
http://olex.openlogic.com/wazi/2011/...th-freeradius/
http://deployingradius.com/scripts/eapol_test/
The Freeradius server is running on my F14 machine. Also, I have been
able to carry out the testing both locally, and remotely (with the aid
of F11 machine), with the Freeradius server.
Now.. comes the actual thing....
I have a router, on which I have set WPA/WPA2 enterprise authentication,
using TKIP/AES protocol. Upon rebooting the router firmware, I am no
longer able to connect (on either of F14 or F11) via the wireless
interface. I am however, able to connect (on both F14 or F11), if I
connect a two-jack-wire, with one jack into the router, and another jack
on my F14 laptop (remebering that F11 is a virtually hosted image).
Now, I intend to do the testing for connecting to the network via wireless interface. I believe ::
a. That I continue to need the two-jack-wire, so as to provide a
network-communication medium between the router, and the Freeradius
server (which is running on my F14-laptop).
b. To actually test connecting to the network via wireless interface, I
need to somehow be able to have two connections simultaneously (one
which I already have of the wired connection).
Assuming part a. is true, how can b. be accomplished?
I am using NetworkManager as the backend, and nm-applet as the frontend, to manage connections.
Just for brevity, lspci lists two interfaces (amongst others) - one for ethernet; other for wireless.
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1000
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
So, I think, the following question summarises all my queries ::
How to have simultaneous wired connection and wireless connection on Fedora 14?
Looking forward to some enlightenment.
