Subject: ath9k_htc: station unable to authenticate
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:48:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130618164812.GA32498@zenon.in.qult.net> (raw)

Hi,

After a lot of git-bisecting and other testing, it appears that commit
382a103b2b528a3085cde4ac56fc69d92a828b72 is the culprit.

To reproduce the problem, use backports-20130607, and the ath9k defconfig
(with no change otherwise).

The station is unable to authenticate with WPA2 to the AP.  Interestingly
enough, if a monitor vif is created and upped beforehand, the authentication
succeeds.

After reverting the commit, authentication succeeds very quickly (without the
need to up a monitor vif), just as expected.

Note that I have kernel 3.8.0 (as per Ubuntu 13.04) and that original
ath9k_htc driver works as expected.  This has been also tested on Debian with
driver from original kernel 3.9 (i.e. without backports).

For the moment I can live with the commit reverted, but I suppose it's been
there to fix something else, so this should probably be looked into by someone
more knowledgeable than me.

Ignacy
