[ath9k-devel] WMP300N - Authen but no Assoc

[Paul Koan <gmane@airbred.com>]

Hello,

I am using a Linksys WMP300N  (AR5146 + AR2133, 168c:0023) with a WRT610N access point.  The access point is set to N only, using WPA2-Personal.

With a stock 2.6.27-r7 kernel ath9k driver, I am able to connect to the AP using wpa_supplicant, using the config below.  The speed is not particularly good, perhaps 2-4Mbps.

I have tried a variety of combinations of wireless-testing and wireless-compat since, and each of them seem to give the same problem, so I think I may be missing something in my config.  Hopefully someone here can help.

My latest attempt was with the above kernel, and with compat 2009-01-12.

The card fails to associate - I get (repeated endlessly) in dmesg:
======================
wlan1: AP denied association (code=18)

=====================
This is on a gentoo server, and when I init.d the interface, which runs wpa_supp, I get:

* Starting wlan1
*   Starting wpa_supplicant on wlan1 ...
ioctl[SIOCSIWMODE]: Device or resource busy
Could not configure driver to use managed mode
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported  [ ok ]
th param 4 value 0x0 -
*   Starting wpa_cli on wlan1 ...                  [ok ]
*     Backgrounding ...
======================

Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf:

===================
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant                                                                     
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1

network={
  ssid="essid5ghz"
  psk="secret"
  proto=RSN
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  pairwise=TKIP CCMP
  group=TKIP CCMP
  priority=20
}

network={
  ssid="essid2ghz"
  psk="secret"
  proto=RSN
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  pairwise=TKIP CCMP
  group=TKIP CCMP
  priority=30
}
===============================

I'd like to get this working better than it actually is of course, but given that I am using pretty standard gear, I'd be happy to do any testing that might help contribute to the driver.

Cheers,

Paul
