Bug ID: 209939
Summary: Wireless connectivity issues; fixed by upgrading
wpa_supplicant to v2.5
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: wireless
Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: j...@altometrics.com

I have a Lenovo T420 with the following wireless card (as reported by `pciconf
-lv`):
iwn0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x13118086 chip=0x00858086 rev=0x34
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]'
class = network
Although I am able to connect to some networks, I have had severe problems
connecting to my wireless router at home, which is an Asus RT-N66U, the "Dark
Knight" router. I have been able to connect once or twice, but usually the
connection fails for some reason. The relevant logs have a couple of repeating
patterns:
Authentication timed out:
May 29 19:00:27 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Trying to associate with
10:bf:48:53:10:2c (SSID='Goat Net 5GHz' freq=5805 MHz)
May 29 19:00:37 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Authentication with
10:bf:48:53:10:2c timed out.

Associated, then immediately disconnected:
May 29 19:00:42 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Trying to associate with
10:bf:48:53:10:2c (SSID='Goat Net 5GHz' freq=5805 MHz)

bssid=10:bf:48:53:10:2c reason=0

I haven't had any luck getting this to work with the stock wpa_supplicant,
which is at version 2.0.
However, I did install wpa_supplicant version 2.5 using pkg. It told me to add
a line to rc.conf to use the installed wpa_supplicant instead of the base one.
I rebooted, and my problems disappeared. I don't know why, but apparently the
newer version fixed some problem I was having.
Can we upgrade the base version of wpa_supplicant from 2.0 to 2.5?
I don't know what is involved in this, but if somebody will point me in the
right direction I may be able to help out.
