I have a brand new Xperia L with 4.2.2 build 15.3.A.1.14. The wireless works fine at home with WPA-PSK.
At work I have several WP2 Enterprise networks which I use everyday from my Linux netbook and from
my older android Xperia J. Unfortunately with the Xperia L when I added the Enterprise networks it worked
fine for the very first connection but when I connect to another network and try to get back to the previous one
it fails.
I discovered that reentering the password in the configuration panel enables me to connect again to that
network but only once. The connection works fine while I continue connected to this Enterprise network, but
once I connect to any other network (Enterprise or not) and try to reconnect again to the Enterprise network
I have the same problem. The phone indicates "Connecting" and then fails.
It is annoying and since I know a bit of Linux I decided to root the phone and have a look at wpa_supplicant.conf
What I discovered is that something (likely the wpa_supplicant daemon) is deleting the password="djflgfjkjg"
fields from all WPA enterprise network entries !!!!
So my enterprise network entries once created from the wifi panel appear in wpa_supplicant.conf as:
network={
ssid="LALALA"
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="mysecretpassword"
ca_cert="keystore://CACERT_cacert"
priority=2000015
}
This works ok, but once I disconnect and connect to another network the configuration is
changed and the password entry disappears becoming:
network={
ssid="LALALA"
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
ca_cert="keystore://CACERT_cacert"
priority=2000015
}
Obviously if I reenter the password using the wifi configuration panel it will be added back and
I'm able to connect once more.
Is there someone else having the same problem ? This is quite annoying.
Obviously since my home network uses WPA-PSK the password is stored via psk="myothersecret"
and so far the psk fields have not been deleted therefore they work fine.
Notice thatt he phone is brand new and that I have this issue from the very first day while my Xperia J
with an older build works fine under the very same conditions.
