Calling "iwconfig ap any" or "iwconfig ap off" for a Broadcom card with the
"wl" driver will cause the card to clear the essid and not associate anymore.
( This causes problems with AUTH_MODE "open", not with "psk". Probably because
the supplicant will scan for the network on its own. )
Proposed patch: Change
case "${DRIVER}" in
(ath_pci)
test -z "$WIRELESS_AP" && WIRELESS_AP='off'
;;
(*)
test -z "$WIRELESS_AP" && WIRELESS_AP='any'
;;
esac
to
case "${DRIVER}" in
(ath_pci)
test -z "$WIRELESS_AP" && WIRELESS_AP='off'
;;
(wl)
;;
(*)
test -z "$WIRELESS_AP" && WIRELESS_AP='any'
;;
esac
This will not set WIRELESS_AP to either off or any for the wl driver.
Association then works fine.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up wireless card to associate to an open AP with given ESSID
2. try to connect
Actual Results:
iwconfig will list the card with essid "", not associated.
Expected Results:
iwconfig lists the card with the correct essid and associated.
