(In reply to comment #13)
I have enabled debug on iwl3945 and tried to connect WPA-EAP "Novel" network.
Packets were sniffed from the air.
I was not able to connect either with NM on channel 44 or on channel 11 with
ifup/ifdown. In both cases the iwl3945 driver repeatedly "deauthenticated" with
"Unspecified reason"reason=1 .
On channel 44 the AP responded to the "probe request" but the STA did not try
to associate. On channel 11 there was no response from the Novell AP to the
"probe request" !
This is all I can tell for sure now. To investigate these kind of problems is
rather time consuming. I will have to setup WPA-EAP authentication backend on
my own and try to reproduce with the WPA-EAP under control.
Just few more notes for the record
(a) "iw list" shows that only passive scanning is allowed on channel 44
5220 MHz [44] (14.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
(b) https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/96097/ states:
Some firmware versions don't behave properly when
passive scanning is requested on radar channels
without enabling active scanning on receiving a
good frame. Work around that issue by asking the
firmware to only enable the active scanning after
receiving a huge number of good frames, a number
that can never be reached during our dwell time.
