Re: [sabayon-dev] linux-sabayon-3.3-r1 breaks WPA-PSK on AMD64

2012-04-16 Thread Lorenzo Cogotti
I am running the latest kernel available on Limbo:
sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.3-r2

the issue went away, things are pretty smooth this far.

 There are two trials of connection above with wicd-client : one with
 passphrase and the other preshared key. In both cases password says
 it's wrong, but it isn't, because I can connect with pppoe-start with
 the same password typed in the wicd-client and of course, internet
 works as I can send this email, heh. Ath9k has gone mad :|
 
 
 On the other hand, I can confirm another phenomenon (maybe it's in my
 imagination) but limbo kernel 3.3-r1 boots 10% faster than the other
 kernels. Using generic one.
 
 
 Oh and Happy Easter to everybody ! :)

 Hi,
 latest limbo update for package:
 sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.3-r1

 on my AMD64 laptop breaks WPA-PSK connection, I failed to connect to a
 wireless encrypted network both via NetworkManager (either from
 nm-applet-gtk2 or nmcli) and wpa_supplicant.
 Downgrading to sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.3 (keeping any other Limbo
 update) fixed the issue.
 The authentication phase seemed to fail, even if any other wireless
 functionality worked (scanning, iwconfig setting and such).
 lspci -v output from linux-sabayon-3.3 is:

 Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

There's a regression on ath9k in 3.3.1

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/26

I expect 3.3.2 to be out on Monday.  A fix should be in there.

If nothing is out by Monday, we could look at the hot fixes provided.
