wpa supplicant/ipw3945, ESSID last char missing
in [Kernel]
|
From: Norbert Preining on 2 Oct 2006 05:10 Dear all! I have the following problem with wpa supplicant/ipw3945. First the versions: kernel: 2.6.18-mm2 (self compiled) ieee80211: 1.1.14 ipw3945: git source ipw3945d: 1.7.19 wpa supplicant: 0.5.5 (Debian/unstable 0.5.5-1) Config file of wpa_supplicant: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 network={ ssid="norbunet" key_mgmt=NONE auth_alg=SHARED wep_key0=HEXKEY1 wep_key1=HEXKEY2 wep_key2=HEXKEY3 wep_key3=HEXKEY4 wep_tx_keyidx=0 priority=5 } When I start ipw3945d and wpa_supplicant it does not connect. And the reason is that when typing iwconfig eth2 (eth0 cable, eth1 not present!?!, eth2 ipw3945) I see that the ESSID is set to "norbune" instead of "norbunet" Calling iwconfig eth2 essid "norbunet " (mind the space at the end) immediately connects (even with encryption) and everything is working. Do you have any idea what this might be related to? The last kernel I tried which worked out of the box (well, with comnpiling ieee and ipw) was 2.6.18-rc4.

Hi Norbert, we've been just through an email thread where it has been determined that wpa_supplicant 0.4.9 (I would assume that 0.5.5 is also okay) and wireless-tools from Jean's latest tarball are necessary to work with the recent wireless extensions v21 that have been merged in. What wireless-tools are you using ?

And the README tells the same. What would be the newest version? http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/wireless_tools.29.pre10.tar.gz which, from Jean's page, has the following: The main features of the latest beta is WE-21 support (long/short retry, power saving level, modulation), enhanced command line parser in iwconfig, scanning options, more WPA support and more footprint reduction tricks Cheers, --alessandro "Well a man has two reasons for things that he does the first one is pride and the second one is love all understandings must come by this way" (Husker Du, 'She Floated Away') - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I build the new 29-pre10 and everything is working. Thanks for the tip! Now for the Debian bug report.

This must be considered a kernel bug - it's not allowed to break userspace compatibility in a stable series.
