PostPosted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 3:24 am    Post subject: More wpa_supplicant woes... madwifi issue [SOLVED] Reply with quote

First off, thanks a lot to everyone who helped out with the network module error I made. wpa_supplicant starts up just fine at boot now. There is one problem, though. I can't seem to figure out why, but it seems if I don't maintain some sort of connection, the router seems to stop forwarding requests after a short period. I have to reset the connection before it will work again.. I wonder if sending some sort of keep-alive packet might help (but that should not be necessary)?

Anyway, here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

# Let wpa_supplicant take care of scanning and AP selection
ap_scan=2

# Other shit
eapol_version=1
fast_reauth=1

        group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40
        psk=*snip*
        priority=5
}


and here is my /etc/conf.d/net:
Code:
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" "udhcpc" )
wpa_supplicant_ath0="-Dmadwifi"

config_ath0=( "dhcp" )
udhcpc_ath0="-q"
dhcp_ath0=( "nontp" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
udhcpc_eth0="-q"

Is there any way I can have it stay connected the whole time without reconnecting? I don't think I messed anything up this time.. :) Thanks in advance for your help.

I can't figure out why it blacklisted my router. Any ideas? Thanks again.

One more thing.. I'm not sure if I already mentioned the fact that it still appears as if it's connected, but after a while it just doesn't connect to anything anymore even though I still have an IP and it still appears to be up.. I wonder what this 00:00:00... is in there for? Right here:
Code:
Wireless event: new AP: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec
Added BSSID 00:11:50:d8:3e:ae into blacklist

I'll try and post some dmesg output if I can find any.... Thanks again.......

Wow, after many hours of researching on google and various sites I believe I have found the solution. Apparently, there is some sort of bug(?) in the madwifi drivers that prevents ap_scan=2 from working properly with wpa_supplicant. I changed it to ap_scan=1 and so far so good... I'll leave it on overnight and try to check my email in the morning. Cross your fingers :)

That was definitely the problem. To anyone with wpa_supplicant and madwifi:

DO NOT USE ap_scan=2 in your wpa_supplicant.conf. Use ap_scan=1 instead.

ap_scan=2 will cause all sorts of connection issues. Unless you like reconnecting every couple minutes, use ap_scan=1.

Here is my wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
# The below line not be changed otherwise we refuse to work
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

# Ensure that only root can read the WPA configuration
ctrl_interface_group=0

        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP TKIP
        group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40

}

wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf works just fine for me now. Hope that might help anyone else with the problem..
