Description of problem: Can't connect to a wireless network the uses WEP security (neither 40 nor 128 bit work). WPA and WPA2 seem to work fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.2.2-1.fc16 lshw identifies the device as: AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to connect to a wireless network that uses WEP security Actual results: Does not connect and re-prompts for the WEP key. Expected results: It should connect. Additional info: I have 2 other fedora 16 laptops that use different wireless cards that do not exhibit this issue.
I've got an AR9285 in an Acer One Aspire One Netbook The latest kernel upgrade to 3.2.2-1 has stopped it connecting to my WEP wireless network. It seems to get the an IP address, DNS set up ok, but pinging any other machine on the network gives Destination Host Unreachable. Rebooting on the previous kernel works fine.

Same problem as Andy here. Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) Problem is specific to WEP authentication. Ni!
thanks, looks like a problem will dig into this tomorrow, not pinging right? iw dev wlanX link seems to be okay
just checked with ath9k_htc seems to ping, so looks like a soldi bug in ath9k when pinging. will check it out tomorrow with debugs.
Ni! Yes, not even pinging any address other than localhost's. Thank you Mohammed, if you need any help, to debug or test, let us know. []s ale
please apply the revert patch attached. need to analyze if it exposes some other issue which need to be fixed. you can do quick check by http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download#Where_to_download_bleeding_edge

I'm seeing this problem on my f16 laptop as well since the update to 3.2.2. John, I can test/build/query whatever you need on this bz.
Hi! I can reproduce this problem on Mageia Linux 2/Cauldron on an Acer x86-64 laptop. More details are here: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4309 I've tried it with the vanilla 3.2.2 kernel from kernel.org and got the same problem. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
I have the same problem after update to 3.2.2 but this doesnt happen only with wep security. i encounter with wpa security too. I tried to connect through a cable without success. I do not know why. My network controller is a ralink (rt2860) and the ethernet controller is Atheros.

You should file a new bug.

I can verify that this fixes the issue I originally reported when I filed this bug.
> Created attachment 559241 [details] > latest fix for WEP issue > John added the latest wep fix patch proposed by Felix Thanks! That fixes the problem with the vanilla 3.2.2 kernel on Mageia Linux 2/Cauldron.
Added the upstream version of the patch to f16 -- should be available in the next f16 kernel update.
I assume its not in 3.2.3 since that still does not work for me. By upstream do you mean 3.2.4 ? The next update will automatically delete my only working kernel, 3.2.1, so I need to be careful when the update comes in to test before deleting anything.
I have the same problem after update to 3.2.2. The kernel 3.2.3 does not fix the problem. AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter doesn't work. I hope the next update will fix the problem.
3.2.3 was already out, so "next f16 kernel update" would be something later. :-) If you are afraid of losing 3.2.1, then you should delete 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 before doing any more updates.
On my FC16, it worked including kernel 3.1.9, since kernel 3.2 the connection to WEP fails in the "waiting for authentication" state. Even the new 3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64 does not help. So I have to keep kernel 3.1.9...

I guess comment 22 and comment 25 are unclear -- kernel-3.2.3-2.fc16 does _NOT_ have the ath9k WEP fix. The next f16 update should have it.
I have too problems with Atheros WiFi on ASUS K53SV notebook: 03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) after upgrade to 3.2.x kernel i get problems with internet connection - connecting to router with WEP is OK, sometimes it asks for password repeatly but after connection, internet dont work(web server dont found in firefox). CAN you please urgently release patched kernel? I can give more informations if you need. Thanks.
Problem is fixed for me with installing your test kernel at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3760072 THANKS a LOT!
after installing this PAE kernel and PAE-devel kernel, i lostet switcheroo module /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch is that normal?
Great, the update to 3.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64 brought the wifi connectivity back. Thanks!
Awesome, the kernel 3.2.5-3.fc16 fixed the problem. Thanks!
