Subject: iwlwifi 3945: secondary interface disallows association
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2007 19:46:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4691310E.8070406@warmcat.com> (raw)
Hi folks -
I have pretty decent functionality on the 3945abg laptop with the Fedora
development kernel version of iwlwifi and WPA via wpa_supplicant.
Connections can stay up over a couple of days or more when I am staying
close to the AP.
However if I perform this action:
echo -n mon0 > /sys/class/ieee80211/phy0/add_iface
I immediately lose association and cannot reacquire it until I remove
the iwl3945 module and insert again. I don't have to do anything with
the new interface, just create it. I tried setting the channel and mode
of it, but that didn't help with reacquiring an association.
In contrast I can bring up other virtual interfaces okay on, eg, zd1211
without losing an existing association to the same WPA network.
-Andy
