[Bug 372665] New: wpa_supplicant has timeouts which are too critical
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372665 Summary: wpa_supplicant has timeouts which are too critical Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: zoz@novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@hetnet.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Lately I did have a lot of problems with making wireless connections from my laptops. My new laptop established a connection only one out of three after a reboot and only after a reboot. After studying the /var/log/messages file with debug output from wpa_supplicant through the command "ifup wlan0 -o debug" I found that the authentication timeout could be the problem. So I downloaded the wpa_supplicant source and changed in the modules wpa_supplicant.c and event.c some of the hard coded timeouts, both scan and authentication timeouts. Now I don't have these problems anymore. So my conclusion is that these timeouts are too critical. Either the hard coded timeouts should be raised or if a scan or authentication does fail the timeout should be raised by wpa_supplicant. I found a number of bug reports on wireless and in my view many of these are solved by raising the timeouts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am seeing this behavior from Intel drivers as well. I have attached log files of my laptop and the Aruba wireless controller. I am using openSUSE 11
Dan, if you are not using ndiswrapper please open a new report for that issue. Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
