WPA2 + Thinkvantage = not working?

#1 Post by Ivan Ivankovic » Mon May 14, 2007 3:07 pm

Here's the situation.

I've got WPA2 set up in my home wireless network. I managed to set up my T60p to connect to it and everything worked fine.
However, on colleage I've got another WLAN with different settings of course so I wanted to take advantage of the built in Thinkvantage manager (access connections I believe...) to easily change between college & home network.
After I set up Access Connections, it won't connect to my home network. nothing...sometimes it sees it, sometimes not...
I don't know what's going on?
I tried numerous times to restore the connection but with little success...
Why did it stop working after I TRIED to use Access Control?
[censored] ThinkVantage.... :/

I coudn't make it work so I restored the system from backup.
No Access Connection for me...
I think I figured out the problem:
Access connections doens't allow all-printable characters in the WPA2 AES passphrase.
