( 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. -- 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.
