Hi all,
sorry for crossposting but I'm not sure where the problem, if any,
could possibly be.
Basically, I'm facing a weird issue with wpa_supplicant 0.7.3 / 0.8
snapshot compiled 06/04/2011 , here the
description and the environment:
wpa supplicant 0.7.3 (gentoo package wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-r1)
linux 2.6.36.1
Tested also with wpa_supplicant 0.8 snapshot and kernels 2.6.37 - 2.6.38.2
hardware: HP elitebook 8440p
iwlagn 0000:44:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN, REV=0x74
iwlagn 0000:44:00.0: loaded firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532
Description:
basically, when wpa_supplicant starts it is unable to speak with hardware, no
commands have effect (i.e. scan) and the only message I get is the
usual
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
(of course rfkill is off)
the scan window (wpa_gui) or scan result (wpa_cli) is empty, no matter
how many scans I request.
but if I issue a
iwlist wlan0 scan
I get all networks active in my area and after some second all
networks appears on wpa_gui and suddenly wpa_supplicant completes the
authentication and I'm able to get the ip address.
I don't know if the problem is wpa not issuing the right commands or
drivers/kernel acting in a strange way or something else, my knowledge
on this is really low.
I've tried to debug this issue without success and also googling
didn't helped me; I will be grateful if someone gives me some hint, at
least where to look; of course I'm available to do any test/debug that
could be needed.
Thanks,

Could you send to my mailbox the two functions.sh scritps, so I can
have a look if this can provide me any hint? Right now I've no debian
available; I can check whatever changed and see what happens on my
setup. It could be worth a try.
Thanks.

Sorry for the top-post:
Not sure if I have the same problem like you.
I was not lucky with the wpasupplicant (0.7.3-X) packaged in
Debian/sid, I downgraded to (0.6.10-2.1).
IIRC last time I investigated the issue:
Replacing /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh file from 0.7.x package
with the one from 0.6.x helped.
So... it could be a packaging problem?
( BTW, I am running systemd and resolvconf package and using a /e/n/i
with static-IPADDR setup, might be related to them, too. Busy with
other stuff and need a stable "working" Internet connection. And NO, I
did not write a bug-report. )
