[Bug 622438] New: DHCP fails to obtain IP address on a wireless network if the SSID ends with a number
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622438 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622438#c0 Summary: DHCP fails to obtain IP address on a wireless network if the SSID ends with a number Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: RC 2 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jeremy.figgins@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 A basic summary of the problem: If I try to connect to a wireless network that has an SSID that ends with a number (for example: "JoesNetwork123"), the wireless card associates (as shown by iwconfig and the NetworkManager icon), but it never gets the IP information. After about 60 seconds, the connection times out. I have tested this on two different machines. Machine A: Laptop, 32-bit, ATH5K wireless, openSUSE 11.1 Machine B: Laptop, 32-bit, Broadcom wireless, openSUSE 11.3 RC2 The problem occurs with both NetworkManager (in KDE and LXDE) and the "traditional method" with ifup. While NetworkManager is trying to connect, dmesg and iwconfig show that the card is associating and deassociating ("dmesg | tail" is below). I can always connect to the network if I manually specify the IP information. The output of my "dmesg | tail" follows (MAC addresses obscured): wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4) wlan0: associated wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with AP 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX wlan0: RX ReassocResp from 00:0a:06:ff:XX:XX (capab=0x421 status=0 aid=4) wlan0: associated wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3) Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The wireless interface authenticates and associates correctly. An iwconfig output shows the ESSID and MAC address but the device never gets an IP. When I get time, I will do some wireshark snooping to see what is being transferred. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(In other words, it now seems to be working.) Larry, you also reported the same problem; are you still having trouble? Can you provide the necessary wpa_supplicant information? -- 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.
