[Bug 837941] New: ifup-wireless: wl driver does not like "iwconfig ap any"
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837941 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837941#c0 Summary: ifup-wireless: wl driver does not like "iwconfig ap any" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: mt@suse.com, tilman.vogel@web.de Depends on: 555774 Found By: Community User Blocker: Yes +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #555774 +++ User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060200 SUSE/3.0.11-5.2 Firefox/3.0.11 Calling "iwconfig ap any" or "iwconfig ap off" for a Agere Systems card with the "wlags49" 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. -- 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.

Basically, mac80211 based drivers (=most drivers today), need the "ap any" as signal to reset the bssid and (re)start scanning (as documented in "iwconfig" man page). Other drivers, like ath_pci or the wl staging drivers do not implement this and break. When I set it to "wl*": @@ -342,7 +342,7 @@ EOL case "$WIRELESS_MODE" in ([M,m]anaged|[A,a]d-[H,h]oc|"") case "${DRIVER}" in - (wl) + (wl*) # bnc#555774, wl driver does not like it ;; (ath_pci) it would affect wl1251,wl18xx,wl12xx as well which are mac80211/cfg80211 based... This means, have to adjust to use (wl|wlags*) to match the driver names more exactly...? Does it work when you set WIRELESS_AP='off' in your ifcfg-XXXX file? -- 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.
