Hi, guys:
Recently I got a atheros mini-PCIE wifi module AR5B22, so I download
the latest version of compat-driver(compat-drivers-2013-03-28.tar.gz),
and build it for armel on my arm board, it works great but with one
little problem:
If I connect to an inscure AP then change to a WEP/WPA AP, I can't
connect the inscure one again, I have to run "modprobe -r ath9k;
modprobe ath9k" to connect the inscure AP.
I think this may be a bug in the ath9k driver, I also search this
bug on web but without an answer, so I send this letter for help.
Any advice would be grateful, thanks.
Wally

Hi, Adrian:
Here is it's wiki:http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Atheros_AR5B22
As I modprobe ath9k. dmesg give these messages:

so it seems ath9k probe this chip as Atheros AR9462. do you have
some idea?

What commands do you use to connect to the APs ? Also, can you post the
kernel log / wpa_supplicant log when the issue happens ?

Ah, right. An AR9462.
Odd. It should be fine. I wonder if the same behaviour exists for
other NICs in that general family (AR9380, AR9485.)
Some code has shown up recently in the reference driver that does
funny things with the keycache as a work-around for some bug. I don't
know what the bug is yet though.
I'll go check it out and get back to the list.

Hi, Sujjth:
I do following steps to reproduce this problem:
/**********************************************************************/
first step, I connect to an inscure AP
1. sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key off essid "dlink FRANCE"
2. sudo dhclient wlan0
dmesg give these messages:
[ 224.937500] wlan0: authenticate with 00:1c:f0:eb:9a:ed
[ 224.945312] wlan0: send auth to 00:1c:f0:eb:9a:ed (try 1/3)
[ 224.953125] wlan0: authenticated
[ 224.953125] ath9k 0000:01:00.0: wlan0: disabling HT as WMM/QoS is not

[ 224.953125] ath9k 0000:01:00.0: wlan0: disabling VHT as WMM/QoS is
not supported by the AP
[ 224.960937] wlan0: associate with 00:1c:f0:eb:9a:ed (try 1/3)
[ 224.960937] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:1c:f0:eb:9a:ed (capab=0x421
status=0 aid=2)
[ 224.960937] wlan0: associated
second step, I connect to another WEP AP:
1. sudo dhclient -r
2. sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid "sw-wifi"
3. sudo wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c ./auth_file
4. sudo dhclient wlan0
dmesg give these messages:
[ 1425.843750] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:1c:f0:eb:9a:ed by local

[ 1436.335937] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:26:5a:ff:c9:6d (capab=0x431
status=0 aid=16)
[ 1436.335937] wlan0: associated
third step, I reconnect the inscure AP agian and failed:
1. sudo dhclient -r
2. sudo killall wpa_supplicant
2. sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed key off essid "dlink FRANCE"
3. sudo dhclient wlan0 <-- system can't get an IP forever...
dmesg give these messages:
[ 2049.585937] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:26:5a:ff:c9:6d by local
choice (reason=3)
[ 2049.609375] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
/**********************************************************************/
very weird, at third step, dmesg only print two messages, and not
start to do authenticate anymore. if I retry second step, it still can
connect WEP/WPA APs.
Hope this messages helps. the attach file is my auth_file using in
second step.
