OK - I'll take a look at this tomorrow, thanks.  I would like to see eapol_test running to confirm things are basically OK.

Reading that and the big code.google.com thread it links to certainly all fits what we're seeing, although I'm not sure if where the EAP dialogue is aborting (prior to it saying the tunnel has been established) is where we would expect it to, if that was the the problem.

I've tried the various suggestions on that thread but none have worked for me on the test phone.  This includes installing the WiFi Advanced Configuration Editor and adjusting the details of the configuration, but they do keep resetting to the broken ones people describe.


So... the above problem seems likely, but I'm not sure why it's suddenly started occurring.  I think it's most likely changes to OpenSSL, perhaps as the reported SuSE version (0.9.8j) has some fixes from later versions backported, I believe.

I think we'll have to do some tests with this, although time may dictate we just put it down as an Android bug and say we can't resolve it.

Thanks for everyone's help but if you have something else, it's be welcome!

  - Bob
