I'm running a fairly recent -CURRENT on my laptop with a run(4)-based
USB wireless adapter.?? I can connect to several wireless access points,
except for the ones at work.?? One's a Netgear Nighthawk X4.?? I see
errors related to WPA negotiation:
wpa_cli:
> interface wlan1
Connected to interface 'wlan1.
<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS
<3>WPS-AP-AVAILABLE
<3>CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND
> select_network 5
OK
<3>CTRL-EVENT-SSID-REENABLED id=5 ssid="EC-LAB-24"
<3>Trying to associate with a0:63:91:89:28:c4 (SSID='EC-LAB-24'
freq=2422 MHz)
<3>Authentication with a0:63:91:89:28:c4 timed out.
<3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=a0:63:91:89:28:c4 reason=3

<3>CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=5 ssid="EC-LAB-24" auth_failures=1
duration=?? 10 reason=CONN_FAILED
<3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS

> quit
Interestingly, a 2nd run(4) interface on a Thunderbird dock connects
just fine.?? The one that doesn't connect is whichever one is plugged
into a USB port on the laptop.
Can someone suggest some basic wireless connectivity debugging tips???
I'd like to add them to the FreeBSD wireless wiki - or are there already
some tips up there?
Thanks,
Anthony Jenkins
