I can’t connect to eduroam on my netbook, which has an RTL8187SE wifi adapter (rev 22). The hardware is quite old, but it can connect to other networks just fine. I’m on bunsenlabs linux 10.5, and the wifi adapter is using rtl818x_pci driver, version 4.19.0-17-686-pae
Here is my dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/cEr7TBAQ. Note that the output lists status=10 as the reason for not being able to associate with the AP, but I have also seen status=18. This seems to vary by physical location – maybe different buildings have different AP hardware.
I have tried the following:
- The usual method as described here (and verified by an IT staff): https://onesearch.library.utoronto.ca/ic-faq/41003
- With certificates provided by the university
- Using a different distro (the latest void linux)
- Using a different certificate as outlined here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/901234/cannot-connect-to-eduroam
- Using the eduroam configuration assistant: https://cat.eduroam.org/
- With
system-ca-cert=false: https://askubuntu.com/questions/573295/cannot-connect-to-eduroam-from-ubuntu
I don’t know what else to try. IT told me that they don’t even see the connection attempts on their end. Could this be a driver issue or is my hardware just not supported?
