Description of problem: Wireless association fails with 2.6.24-9.fc9. iwl3945, WPA2-PSK. Both NM and raw usage of wpa_supplicant fail. Works fine with the same userspace with 2.6.24-0.141.rc7.fc9. Haven't tried in-between yet. Lots of messages like: Trying to associate with 00:13:10:a6:40:59 (SSID='xenomorph' freq=2447 MHz) Associated with 00:13:10:a6:40:59 CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out. No network configuration found for the current AP CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys No network configuration found for the current AP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.24-9.fc9 How reproducible: Every time
Is this with or without disable_hw_scan? Does setting that option the other way change the behavior?
With disable_hw_scan; will try without later today, as the AP is at home.
Without disable_hw_scan it works.
That being said, without disable_hw_scan, it's flaky, much in the same way that F8 and F7 were without disable_hw_scan.
FWIW, I'm running this kernel on a t60p now with WPA-PSK and it seems quite stable. The AP has a slow (~10Mbps) back-end connection -- could the flakiness you observe be related to transfer speed? Might there be other sources of RFI in your area? Can you make any recommendations on how to recreate the conditions you are seeing?
Not specifically. It appears to be fixed in the 2.6.25-pre kernels we have in rawhide.
