[Bug 408429] New: wpa_supplicant gives error ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=408429 Summary: wpa_supplicant gives error ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: f.de.kruijf@hetnet.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I am using openSUSE 11.0 i386 on my laptop, previously 10.3. When starting my WiFi card connecting to my access point using WPA-PSK I get the following error message "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument". I did not have this message on 10.3. I also do not have this message on another laptop using 11.0 x86_64. I found the string "SIOCSIWPMKSA" in the source of wpa_supplicant. This message is confusing, because it looks as if this is causing WiFi not to work. It now takes a lot more time before the WiFI connection finally works compared to the situation in 10.3. -- 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.

the following error message "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument".
That means the driver does not implement this ioctl. Which driver do you use (hwinfo --wlan)? -- 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.

Driver: "ndiswrapper"
Did you use ndiswrapper in 10.3 too? -- 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.

When starting my WiFi card connecting to my access point using WPA-PSK I get the following error message "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument".
Ok, just investigated this issue. The message "ioctl[SIOCSIWPMKSA]: Invalid argument" is returned by ndiswrapper if the windows driver refuses a PMKID. Hence there is not much we can do from a ndiswrapper/wpa_supplicant point of view. If ndiswrapper would return "Unsupported" instead of "Invalid argument" wpa_supplicant would ignore that non-critical failure. Normally ndiswrapper would return "Unsupported" but it seems like the windows driver does something unexpected. Hence I'll close this one as WONTFIX. Maybe a newer Windows driver or a newer ndiswrapper might fix this issue automatically. Nevertheless thanks for the report. -- 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.
