Subject: iwl3945 regression: associates but no data is transfered

Hello,

I upgraded to the latest wireless-testing and my iwl3945 is now
broken. It can associate but no data is transfered after that. Tried
with open and wep modes. With dhcp I cannot get ip and with static ip
ping to the gateway doesn't work.

Any hints?

Have you tried reverting that commit ?

I actually found that it does break ath5k as well...

Hi,

BTW, v2 of Alina's fix is *NOT* fixing the problem (not on my machine).

The bad commit seems to be e32b1b9a33759e8a83ac566c4c43f23ed5d6343b, which

is not iwlwifi related.

Even though it's an mlme commit, it doesnt seem to affect other drivers (at

least b43 and ath5k).

I'll come up soon with a proper fix, but for now iwl3945 users should

revert that commit locally.



Cheers,

Samuel.

I wish I'd said something sooner, I thought it was just the university's network
being particularly crappy causing wpa2 to be so flaky since going to -rc2. (b43)

No - as I was bisecting, I thought I'd keep going; however, that sounds like a good idea
that might save some time.

I'll report ASAP.

Hi Kalle,

I noticed the same regression here with iwl3945 and static-IP with
wl.git master 2009-01-21.

I tried to apply the iwlwifi-updates from 20-Jan-2009 (5 patches,
without the iwl3945-rfkill one, see below).
As far as I can see the patchset as of 19-Jan-2009 (15 patches) seem
to be all included in latest master.

There were two patches specially for 2.6.29 [1], but they were not
applicable in my case, so I took the ones from the older patchset.
But no luck here.

Johannes and Mohamed are discussing mac80211 disassociation on [2].

Hope these infos help.

Kind Regards,
Sedat

Something between 2.6.29-rc1 and -rc2 killed b43 and p54usb on my WPA2 network. My rtl8187
devices work fine.

I'm in the process of bisecting right now. Only 1500 commits to go.
