I have a several wireless networks without password that my linux box
easily connects to.
What version of wpa_supplicant does the Linux box run?
On FreeBSD 'ifconfig ath0 up scan' command shows it. 'ifconfig ath0
ssid <my-ssid> up' brings interface to 'associated' state. But
dhclient fails to set it up.
I have another device on the same system: ral0. It sometimes connects
to these networks ok, sometimes has the same problem.
What can I do to understand what may be a problem with ath0 in my
case?
I tried to use tcpdump. It shows outbound DHCP packets and nothing is
inbound.
I asked similar question here before, somebody asked me to downgrade
atheros driver to one particular lower version. But this didn't help.
Relevant dmesg lines are:
ath_hal: 0.9.30.13 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5216, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413,
RF5413, RF2133)
ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xcffe0000-0xcffeffff irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6
I had a lot of trouble with ath(4) and my work's wireless network (Aruba
Networks based). After patching wpa_supplicant from 0.5.10 to 0.5.11,
everything has worked well. Before, it would associate, yet DHCP would
not work.
Sam Leffler (sam@) has since committed it to CURRENT. I still have the
original patch to RELENG_7[1] that the CURRENT patch was based upon. It
is a bit old, yet I think it may still apply at least for the most part.
