Public bug reported: Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
I installed 0.6.7 today on my laptop. It indeed resolves the problem with "Compound_MAC" problem in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/304126 I configured and built my wpa_supplicant with dbus support (for later uses, just in case), and only wext driver, which is the one used for my laptop. I put wpasupplicant as the first suspect of this bug, since it happens only with WPA2 Enterprise kind of encrypted wireless network. However I still have a problem that I had with 0.6.4 earlier, namely that the connection often breaks by itself. This is my wpa_supplicant.conf section (with no username and password), using WPA2 Enterprise connection. network={ ssid="W-M_Wireless_Encrypted" scan_ssid=0 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP eap=PEAP phase1="peaplabel=0" phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2" identity="[email protected]" password="PASSWORD" } My campus website gives the following tech info: SSID: W-M_Wireless_Encrypted Encryption: WPA2 Enterprise 802.1x/EAP Type: PEAP (Protected EAP) Authentication: MS-CHAPv2 The config that I used above could successfully authenticate my laptop on the encrypted network, and get me the IP address via DHCP. When my connection is lost, I noticed from the debug file (/var/log/wpa_supplicant.eth1.log) that the BSSID that I am associated to is often "blacklisted", and sometimes re-whitelisted later. But when this happened, the connection could not be resumed. I don't understand something here... This seems to happen randomly, and usually after some period of idling. Not knowing whether scan_ssid is a culprit, I have tried scan_ssid=1 also, but it does not matter. The SSID is not hidden anyway. When the connection is broken, the `wpa_cli status' and `iwconfig' still show "good" and "valid" connection, but I could not even ping outside my laptop. Any help will be appreciated.
