Re: BUG: can bring wpa_supplicant/mac80211 into a stuck state at will

[Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de>]

Johannes asked me off-list for dmesg output:


> First, it associates to the MNHS-AP:

eth1: direct probe to AP 00:13:19:80:da:30 (try 1)
eth1 direct probe responded
eth1: authenticate with AP 00:13:19:80:da:30 (try 1)
eth1: authenticated
eth1: associate with AP 00:13:19:80:da:30 (try 1)
eth1: RX AssocResp from 00:13:19:80:da:30 (capab=0x11 status=0 
aid=112)
eth1: associate

eth1: direct probe to AP 00:13:19:80:da:30 (try 1)
eth1 direct probe responded
eth1: authenticate with AP 00:13:19:80:da:30 (try 1)
eth1: authenticated


Also the output of "iw eth1 info":

iw eth1 link
Connected to 00:1b:53:11:dc:40 (on eth1)
        SSID: MNFUNK
        freq: 2412
Authenticated with 00:13:19:80:da:30 (on eth1)
        RX: 78173 bytes (722 packets)
        TX: 144 bytes (4 packets)
        signal: -67 dBm
        tx bitrate: 11.0 MBit/s



If I understand this right, then mac80211 thinks it's connected, 
even before the 4-way key exchange?
