Hello Kel,
so the log is attached: it keeps telling me that it doesn't know
how to associate the AP. I'm not sure sure what do you mean for
higher level tool, but ifconfig and route tells me that I'm not
online.
Use the '-dd' option to wpa_supplicant, the log did not contain
any debug output.
hmmm ... that was the output when starting wpa_supplicant with
-dd. I'll give it another try next time I'm around the coffee shop.
Maybe you did, but since the used command was not shown and no useful
output was in the log I made that assumption.
Btw, running dhcpclient manually (that is not doing ifup which
brings wpa_supplicant go) brings my interface up and all is
well.
Show your /etc/network/interfaces configuration.
Attached.
Thanks. Only odd thing i see in there after (very quick, need to rush
off to work) look is allow-hotplug but without interface name after
it.
And downgrading to the stable version (0.5.5-2) fixes it: this
version works.
It may also help to know what type of wireless card/driver you are
using.
ipw2200 and the laptop is a thinkpad T41.
OK.
I can confirm this behavior for both a Core 2 Duo/ipw3945 and a Pentium
M/ipw2200 laptop. Either laptop won't associate with an open AP unless
there's a network clause that specifies the ssid of the AP. IOW, the
stanza in
/usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/examples/wpa_supplicant.conf.template:
### Associate with any open access point
### Scans/ESSID changes can be done with wpa_cli
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
}
doesn't work. This change happened on both laptops with the new version
of wpasupplicant.
Attached is my /etc/network/interfaces file (mine doesn't have the
allow-hotplug anomaly you noted) and my wpa_supplicant.conf.

Hello there,
since last update, I cannot any longer connect to general public network
using the clause with an empty essid. To be clear I have
network={
id_str=dhcp
key_mgmt=NONE
}
in my wpa configuration file but I cannot connect to a NETGEAR station
untill I hadd
network={
ssid=NETGEAR
id_str=dhcp
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=5
}
to the configuration. Used to work flawless before.
Please show that association fails and not some other higher layer networking
tool.
Does downgrading to previous wpasupplicant version instantly fix this problem?
Start wpa_supplicant manually with -dd options to capture some debug log.
Thanks, Kel.
