Public bug reported: hostapd 1:0.7.3-4ubuntu1 on Precise doesn't work for 802.1x wired auth. Using the attached config for 802.1x wired with integrated EAP server, I get the following error when a wired client tries to authenticate:
Data frame from unknown STA f0:de:f1:66:4f:29 - adding a new STA New STA eth1: STA f0:de:f1:66:4f:29 IEEE 802.1X: start authentication EAP: Server state machine created IEEE 802.1X: f0:de:f1:66:4f:29 BE_AUTH entering state IDLE IEEE 802.1X: f0:de:f1:66:4f:29 CTRL_DIR entering state FORCE_BOTH IEEE 802.1X: 46 bytes from f0:de:f1:66:4f:29 IEEE 802.1X data frame from not associated STA The "data frame from not associated STA" indicates that hostapd got traffic from the client and it expects the client to be associated with the wireless AP. However, this is wired, not wireless, so there's no AP association at all. This was fixed upstream in http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commit;h=bf689a40 ** Affects: hostapd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947668 Title: hostapd wired 802.1x is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hostapd/+bug/947668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
