Hi David, I have investigated this issue for a while.. Firstly i thought it was due to broken WiFi driver, but it seems to be a "local" decision, maybe due to connman or wpa_supplicant. The WiFi device go in an infinite loop of association/disassociation.
If you find a workaround i will be very happy if you share your fix. For what i understood of this bug, my driver returns a new AP with a null mac address when using Wext here is the "wpa_supplicant -d" trace: Wireless event: cmd=0x8b15 len=20 Wireless event: new AP: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Disassociation notification BSSID 00:00:00:00:00:00 blacklist count incremented to 3 CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=0 if you use nl80211 you get the following output in syslog: wlan0: associated Jan 1 00:21:51 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 SCANNING Jan 1 00:21:51 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 scanning started Jan 1 00:21:51 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 scanning finished Jan 1 00:21:51 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 ASSOCIATING (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:51 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 DISCONNECTED (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi user.debug kernel: [ 1290.574960] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:3a:98:8f:3b:41 by local choice (reason=3) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 ASSOCIATED (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 4WAY_HANDSHAKE (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 DISCONNECTED (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 SCANNING (scanning) Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 scanning started Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 scanning finished Jan 1 00:21:52 Naobi daemon.info connmand[1679]: wlan0 DISCONNECTED (scanning) I reproduce this issue easily when there are lots of WiFi networks, and placed my WiFi device in the middle of two AP within the same ESSID. I use connman 0.69.4, wpa_supplicant 0.7.3, zd1211rw from compat-wireless-2011-03-15 (nl80211), and ralink broken driver for rt3070 chipset (wext). I just tested the static IP method, that is mentionned in your link, and it doesn't works. 2011/5/11 DJ Cozatt <[email protected]> > On Wed, 2011-05-11 at 12:06 +0200, Samuel Ortiz wrote: > > Hi, > > > > On Tue, May 03, 2011 at 11:57:57PM -0400, DJ Cozatt wrote: > > > > > > Also though it did not appear in the message the wlan0 interface is > > > there but seems to have no ipv4 address though it does seem to have an > > > ipv6 address.
