Hi,

very strange, now I can't reproduce the problem anymore, association
works with channel 12 and other ones, too!
I have no idea why it's now working...

Could this commit affect any link tolerance/timeouts, because I was
able to bisect the problem?

Not sure what happen, but please do let us know if you see the problem
pop up again. I do not think this patch should affect the link
tolerance.

commit 062bee448bd539580ef9f64efe50fdfe04eeb103 broke my iwlagn 5100

[Florian Klink]

Hi,

I hope I'm writing to the right addresses, this is my first kernel bug
report :-)

I regulary build linus' tree from git. One day, my wireless card was
unable to connect to the access point. dmesg showed something like this:

[  122.290949] wlan0: direct probe to 00:15:0c:xx:xx:xx (try 1)
[  122.490158] wlan0: direct probe to 00:15:0c:xx:xx:xx (try 2)
[  122.690057] wlan0: direct probe to 00:15:0c:xx:xx:xx (try 3)
[  122.890031] wlan0: direct probe to 00:15:0c:xx:xx:xx timed out

At first, I thought is was some link quality problem and tried it next
to the access point, but it still didn't work.
I booted another (older) kernel and with this one, the card was able to
connect without any problems.

I bisected the problem and came to commit
062bee448bd539580ef9f64efe50fdfe04eeb103
iwlwifi: set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK in tx_flag
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=062bee448bd539580ef9f64efe50fdfe04eeb103

My wireless card is a Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100.

Will provide more info if needed.

Florian

PS: Please CC me, i'm not on linux-wireless.

based on the log sent by Florian, I did not see bss_info_change with
current BSSID from mac80211. any thought?

I am expected to see something like this,

That'd only happen _after_ association, not before, and assoc fails

Could you try different channel instead of channel 12 to see if the
problem still there?
