Description Phil Mayers 2008-07-25 16:09:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have problems connecting to our WPA-Enterprise network (WPA, PEAP/MSCHAP)
under 2.6.25.10-86

If I reboot into the older kernel 2.6.25.9-76 I can connect fine

Driver is iwl4965, firmware version is 4.44.1.20-1

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.6.25.10-86

How reproducible:

More or less always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect to a WPA-enterprise network
2. System just prompts for password repeatedly
3. Never connects
  
Actual results:

No wireless

Expected results:

Wireless

Additional info:

I seem to get errors in /var/log/messages including:

iwl4965: Error sending TX power (-22)

There are also kernel oopses (info to follow in an attachment)

Our wireless platform (Cisco lightweight, formerly Airespace) syslogs messages
when I'm using the broken kernel version:

APF-3-CHECK_EXT_SUPP_RATES_FAILED: Could not check extended supported rates.
Missing supported rate for station. Length :0. Mobile MAC: 00:13:e8:c1:f8:f9.

Comment 2 John W. Linville 2008-07-31 17:35:37 UTC 
Can you try -97?  Someone else reported that it resolved this issue.
Comment 3 John W. Linville 2008-08-19 18:49:59 UTC 
Closed due to lack of response...I'm pretty sure this is fixed.
Comment 4 Phil Mayers 2008-08-20 11:35:22 UTC 
Yes, sorry for not replying - for reference, the -97 update did indeed correct the problem
