https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=294797 Summary: ipw3945 unable to connect Linksys WRT54GS Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mhoppe@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: IS&T It is not possible to connect to an Linksys WRT54GS (v2) access point with WPA encryption enabled with an ipw3945 within a Lenovo T60p. Firmware is the newest installed on the WRT54GS. wpa_cli shows the following: pairwise_cipher=CCMP group_cipher=TKIP key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK wpa_state=ASSOCIATED
<2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
If I disable WPA, I can connect to the AP but I don't get an IP address. If I start a tcpdump on the AP, I can see that a DHCP reply is send to the client but a tcpdump on the client shows nothing. A connect with other cards like Atheros works fine. -- 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.

You may be able to work-around by using ap_scan=2 or enabling CCMP group cipher in the AP. I'll try to find the cause for the broken reporting when I have some time for this. -- 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.

Could you install the wireless-tools package from STABLE and check whether this helps? It's compatbile with 10.2, so you do not need to update anything else. -- 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 tested it with the other OS from Microsoft and it doesn't work too. So it is a general problem with the Intel driver in Windows and Linux or it's a Linksys bug. It works on a Linksys WRT54G but not on a WRT54GS. Very strange. I will create a bugreport for Linksys now. -- 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 solution was to disable the Broadcom Afterburner (Speedbooster) technology on the AP. After doing this everything is working fine. There seems to be a problem with the Intel driver in Linux and Windows and this Speedbooster technology. -- 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.

But anyway, considering that this Speedbooster technology is most probably no defined standard, I think these things can happen. Closing as INVALID. Thanks for figuring out. -- 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.
