The connection process stucks in authentication loop and then disconnects. If I just comment out ieee80211n config parameter in hostapd all works fine, but in G-mode. Can somebody help me with this problem? I've few days googled to find solution but find nothing.

I use Debian squeeze 6.0.5, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64. I am trying to connect to my phone's router using WPA2 PSK, without results. There is any problem using open protocol, without encryption, but I want to use WPA. A message I have seen is “scanning” as a result of wpa_cli. Anybody can help ? Please answer to polarship&lt; at &gt;hotmail.com and you will get a place in heaven. Usually I connect to belkin54g but sometimes I want to use WPA2 to connect to WLAN02, my phone's router. And after using WLAN02, i would like to connect back to belkin54g without having to reboot. Any answers for the reason I have to reboot to connect again to belkin54g ? ============================================================= ### This File: /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.

I wanted to know all the wireless hotspots around me and their signal strengths. I used "wpa_cli scan; wpa_cli scan_results" to list the hotspots around me with signal level, which were -75 and -83 in my case. I guess the unit here is dBm. My question is how to convert dBm to percentage of signal strength. I'm using ath9k driver. I saw a document on the internet saying that I can use the following formula to convert dBm to percentage: RSSI - 95 = dBm RSSI_MAX for Atheros chips is 60. So, -35 dBm is equivalent to 100%, and -95 dBm to 0% It doesn't look right to me because I put an access point very close to me but got -79 dBm via wpa_cli. Please can anyone help?

But when we try to remove the entries, we need to compare that pbc sessions list entry-&gt;address. This will ensure that both entries gets removed. Please let me know if the below patch is OK or I am missing something in my understanding.

Are there any rules regarding invalid ranges or combination of duration and interval? Of course interval should be longer than duration, but if duration consumes 90% of interval does it still make sense? Second problem is how long duration is allowed. I think when I define 90% sleep time then interval longer than 1sec also make no sense. In other words if GO will go to sleep for too much time then there will be a problem, with connecting/disconnecting to this group-owner. Should the validation be performed in supplicant or in driver?

The wpa_supplicant source code is release 0.6.9 which was included in the Atheros SDK. The wpa_supplicant has been successfully ported to our hardware platform. Currently the device can connect successfully to Wi-Fi Access Points with Atheros chip inside. However, the device has trouble connecting successfully to Wi-Fi Access Points with Broadcom chip inside. (It takes up to 2 minutes to connect at distance greater than 50cm) I am in need of a paid consultant who can help me troubleshoot and fix the above problem.

Let us assume that p2p_connect command was given on both the peers using a script at the same time. Also assume that P1 has higher mac address than P2. 1. P1 will send a GO-NEG-REQ and P2 will also send a GO-NEG-REQ. 2. Before P2 could get a callback p2p_go_neg_req_cb to update the variable go_neg_req_sent, P2 receives a GO-NEG request of P1 in the dwell time of its own request. 3. So P2 prepares the GO-NEG-RSP and send it even though its mac address is lower than P1 because go_neg_req_sent variable is NOT yet incremented. 4. Now P1 will get P2's GO-NEG-REQ and will reply it since it has higher mac address. 5. Both peers end up in sending GO-CONF frame. To resolve this race, we propose that we increment go_neg_req_sent as soon as p2p_send_action is called for GO-NEG-REQ. And then decrement go_neg_req_sent if because of some reason the success is not reported in the callback p2p_go_neg_req_cb.

Then the association is retried on authentication timeout which is 10secs. The below patch cancels the authentication timeout on ASSOC_REJECT and initiates an scan for association.

In this disconnect context, the group idle timer will be set to 10 and assoc retry starts. If the connection doesn't go through in the first attempt the group will be removed. This is because the authentication timeout happens at 10secs and the assoc will be retried only after that. I feel setting to twenty seconds will help to retry at least two times. Please see whether it is okay. Setting authentication timeout to 5secs is also another option. But not sure whether there are some systems requiring 10secs time.

In this case, STA responds to AP by sending WSC_NACK message. But, as per WSC 2.0 specification, WSC_NACK is to be sent to indicate a authenticating or processing error. Is sending WSC_NACK ok in this case?
