It seems that 8.0 discussion is still going on on @current... if I
should have posted this on @stable, please, feel free to chastise me as
appropriate.
After updating to r198831 my laptop no longer associates with either of
two APs I have. Rolling back just 'sys/net80211' to r198443 fixes the
problem.
Working system:
FreeBSD RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net 8.0-RC1 FreeBSD 8.0-RC1 #0
r198443M: Sat Oct 24 14:03:30 EDT 2009
root at RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TPX60 i386
Non-working system:
FreeBSD RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net 8.0-RC2 FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 #0
r198931: Wed Nov 4 20:56:16 EST 2009
root at RabbitsDen.RabbitsLawn.verizon.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TPX60 i386
APs are is:
SSID/MESH ID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
AP_SSID 00:1f:33:3b:xx:xx 3 54M -68:-96 100 EP RSN WPS
WME
AP_SSID 00:1f:90:cb:xx:xx 8 54M -73:-96 100 EPS RSN WPA
ATH
Relevant piece of wpa_supplicant.conf is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
eapol_version=2
network={
ssid="AP_SSID"
scan_ssid=1
priority=1
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="Really secure something"
}
APs are set not to broadcast SSID, but enabling broadcast does not
change much.
Running wpa_supplicant with -d shows that it could not match AP_SSID.
If there is anything else I can provide, please, let me know.
