Computer: Lenovo Carbon X1 2014
Issue:
I'm on a university campus with a PEAP/MSCHAPv2 wireless network. The first time I connect to the network, if I use the right settings, it will work. However if I disconnect for any reason (like close laptop lid and stand it by) when I try to reconnect to the network, it won't work. It's like the OS doesn't even try. As soon as I click on the SSID to reconnect, mint immediately says "Disconnected." It never says "connecting..." or shows any signs of attempting to connect to the network.
Now, if I forget the network and connect again and type in all of the settings, the computer will connect successfully. But I have to do this every time I want to reconnect. It's as if the OS has trouble saving or applying the connection settings. Any thoughts? I've tried the solutions presented here: http://forum.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=23893 to no avail.
TLDR: I can't reconnect to my university's PEAP network without forgetting the network and typing in all of the settings again. Linux Mint 17 on Lenovo X1 Carbon.
Thank you for your help!! I greatly appreciate it
These are the connection settings I'm using:
Security: WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
Authentication: Protected EAP (PEAP)
CA Certificate: none
PEAP version: Automatic
Inner authentication: MSCHAPv2
Username
Password
This is the output of mintWifi when I'm trying to reconnect to the network but I can't:
