 Posted: Thu Mar 09, 2006 5:07 am Post subject: Highly Unstable WPA_Supplicant -- HELP!!! |
 |
|
Hi!
I'm having some really annoying troubles with my wpa_supplicant
Everytime I startup the laptop, I never know if the wireless network is going to connect or not.. sometimes it does
(after 10 seconds or more), other times wpa_supplicant will timeout when "Daemonizing.." (and the worse part is that
it will timeout after trying for what seems like eternity).
During the day, my network connection drops a lot and having to restart the net.eth1 is back to the same problem of
not knowing whether it's going to connect.
The strength of the signal is never the issue as I'm sitting a few feet away from the wireless hardware and Windows XP
never has a problem connecting (and reports the strength as excellent).
I'm at my wits end as to what to do.. sometimes, after trying to restart the network multiple times, I end up rebooting..
and sometimes this works and sometimes it doesnt.
Can someone help?? I'm losing my mind!
Thanks,
Kristy

I'm having the exact same problem.
I retry and retry and retry ....... and eventually I get connected
The diagnostic output from wpa_supplicant appears to be the same in both cases - it either times out or works. I've tried wpa_supplicant 0.4.7 0.4.8 and 0.5.1. Other details: ipw2200 v1.1.0 and kernel 2.6.16_rc5.

If we can't fix this... can we find an alternative to wpa_supplicant?

Howdy yall,
Is everyone on this thread using intel wireless? (Thinking it may be a driver issue, not wpa supplicant.)
Charlie
[edit] p.s.- If so- The 3.0 firmware is now in portage and is supposed to load smoother than the 2.4. It requires the 1.1.1 driver. Both are ~x86. Might be worth a try... [/edit] |

Me too. I'll try the new driver (wasn't in portage this morning).
Let's hope it fixes the issue! |

Ok, so it's not a driver issue. All the versions I've tried (1.0.10 1.1.0 and 1.1.1) have the same problems. I also tried switching the network to plain WEP and wpa_supplicant has the same problems. However iwconfig connects perfectly and very quickly. This isn't a solution for me though, as I need to connect to networks using wpa and 802.1x authentication for work.
Any other ideas what could be wrong?
Joel. |

kristyx,
I notice you've got
| Quote: |
/etc/conf.d/net
Code:
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-Dwext -dd -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -ieth1"
|
Have you already tried -Dipw instead of -Dwext? (Specifying the ipw driver should also allow you to use WPA2 if you like...)

Hi Charlie,
Yes, I first tried ipw but it didn't work for me.. I had some errors (my network is working right now so
I *really* don't want to change the settings and lookup the error message.. but as soon as it drops, I will  )
Thanks,
Kristy

Kristyx,
I understand...
The only other thing I might suggest trying is to omit scan_ssid=1 from wpa_supplicant.conf. (unless your AP does not broadcast it's ESSID.)

Yes, the AP isn't broadcasting.. as for the ipw driver, here's the error:

Kristyx,
I'm kinda shooting in the dark here. But have you tried changing the hwcrypto option when loading the ipw2200 driver? Loading the module with hwcrypto=1 uses firmware encryption, while hwcrypto=0 forces software encryption. If I remember correctly, the option defaults to 1 on drivers < 1.1.0 and defaults to 0 on 1.1.0 & 1.1.1. If you haven't tried already, you might try toggling this flag to force software encryption... (or toggle the other way if your using the new (>1.1.0) driver...
Other than that, I'm not sure what else could resolve this.

I have to say, I'm having all the same problems and I've tried all the suggestions so far with various versions of the drivers and wpa_supplicant. Frankly I'm beginning to lose hope that this will ever get sorted  Maybe I'll just have to wait - things usually magically fix themselves ......
Thanks for all the help,
I'm still willing to try anything anyone can think of,
Joel. |

Charlie, any idea where I'm supposed to set the hwcrypto option? I've been googling but haven't found which config file I'm supposed to edit!  Thanks !

its in /etc/modules.d/ipw2200 you have to add this line:
| Code: | | options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0/1 |
and run modules-update afterwards
btw. I'm using the ipw2200 drivers and wpa_supplicant without problems, the driver is 1.1.1 and wpa_supplicant is 0.4.7
PS: If someone wants to see my config, just say so

I figured I'd add myself to the "me too" list. Perhaps a bug ought to be filed?
(BTW, I found that toggling the hwcrypto option on the ipw2200 module to have no effect.)
Edit: It appears this was a problem with the WAP and actually had nothing at all to do with wpa_supplicant. D'oh.

I have created a bug upstream since the bug I created with gentoo got closed asying to open a bug upstream
http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=985
What version of baselayout are you all using?
| Code: |
sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.0_pre16-r3 |
I wonder if this could be a baselayout issue

I downgraded to a stable version of baselayout and I had the same issue so I dont think that it is an issue with baselayout. I guess will have to wait and see waht upstream has to say...

Just picked up a new router Belkin F5D7231-4P and every thing look like it is stable. I beleive that my issue may have been with the previous router (Was having issues with windows machines too) it was a SMC2804WBRP-G took that **** back and got a router that actually works. I will post more status here as i do more testing.

| I use wpa_supplicant with ipw2100 drivers, with the same problem. I fixed it with removing ivman from rc-update. I think ivman tries to load the firmware and asks for an IP while booting the net.ethX service. With kde-3.5 automounting still works ok, so it seems that the problem is fixed here... |
