Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wpasupplicant
This is a very weird bug. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy with a NETGEAR WG311v2
wifi card (Ndiswrapper driver). I try to connect to the AP through the
command line because I wasn't able to make it work with network-manager,
wicd or the GNOME network tool: connection was endless or timed-out.
With kernel 2.6.24-16, my wifi card only associates with the AP by the
command line "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
-d", but it doesn't with "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" or "sudo wpa_supplicant -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd".
With kernel 2.6.24-18, it doesn't associates at all.
Thus, I'm suspecting wpasupplicant to connect to my AP too quickly (or
slowly) when it fails, because association works only with a precise
kernel (minor) version and a precise debugging level.
I'm using the same wpa_supplicant.conf template as provided in
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa-psk-tkip.conf.
Is this bug really related to wpasupplicant? Or is it ndiswrapper's
kernel module? Is there a way to introduce a waiting time during the
association process?
