Nope, it's the log from the client which fails.

Atheros 5418, client drops connection after some time with N

2017-02-04 Thread clutton
Hi list.

The hosts are CURRENT both AP and client, after some time of usage
client (my laptop) becomes deaf.
tcpdump from AP shows that packets are received and transmitted back,
but on client tcpdump doesn't show receiving. arping doesn't work too.
ifconfig shows "status: associated" anyway.

I don't have any wifi encryption, I use OPEN with IPSEC, but without
IPSEC the situation is the same.

What else, ifconfig down/up solves the issue, and with ifconfig -ht
everything works well. Need more info - ask.

The log attached is produced with:
_ wlandebug input+scan+assoc+elemid+node+output+inact+roam+rate

client's dmesg:
ath0:  mem 0xdf3f-0xdf3f irq 17 at device 0.0 on
pci2
ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes
ath0: [HT] RTS aggregates limited to 8 KiB
ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR5418 mac 12.10 RF5133 phy 8.1
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0

P.S. I must be cursed, since I send few emails with debug attachment

As I remember some discussion here (a long time ago) said that the

HEAD, but I didn't update it more then month.
I'm not using monitor mode, just ordinary one when I'm connected to AP,
and ahdemo. Seems raw write works with both types well, and
pcap_inject() doesn't.

The scenario is that:

handle = pcap_open_live(dev, BUFSIZ, 1, 0, errbuf); // tried without
promisk, didn't help
pcap_set_datalink(handle, DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO);
 // I've tried others datalinks, and also skipping setting this like
Linux users do, changing datalink here changes the way how packet is
corrupted
BUILD_PACKET_STEP()
pcap_inject(handle, packet, packet_len);

 What was happened? netif tries to setup wlan0 (clone, wpa, dhcp, 
 etc),
 when wlan0 interface occurs, devd runs another copy of netif.
   
Well, it sounds like we need to pick an architecture _and_ fix the
behaviour here.
   
Which is:
   
   
* I think wpa-supplicant should always run if it's required in 
/etc/rc.conf;
* netif should check if devd is configured and if so, just leave the
configuration up to devd
* if it isn't running, then devd should be responsible for
dhclient/add-to-wpa-config
   
What we first have to establish is whether add_interface and
remove_interface (or whatever they're called) are correctly working,
for ethernet and wifi driver types. Then, we need to ensure they can
coexist (ie, one wpa_supplicant, but with both ethernet/wifi drivers
loaded and active on their relevant interfaces.) _then_ we can break
out the stuff devd does out of netif and have _either_ netif (x)or
devd call this new script to setup/teardown the interface runtime
state.
   
How's that sound?
   
Note that devd just runs netif (via /etc/pccard_ether), so it's already
just one script, and having netif bail if devd is running would make
netif not do anything in the common case.
   
What normally happens during boot is that '/etc/rc.d/netif start' 
creates
wlan0 and runs wpa_supplicant via 'childif_create' making a nested call 
to
ifn_start for wlan0.  That is, childif_create autoruns /etc/rc.d/netif
explicitly after it creates the device.  Probably that is what should be
removed.  That would let devd always start wpa_supplicant via
/etc/pccard_ether.  I've just tested this by doing a stop/start on iwn0
(parent of wlan0, so wlan0 gets destroyed and re-created) and it started
wpa_supplicant correctly.

I also tested vlans created via vlans_if and they should use the same 
fix as
well.  Note that this model is more consistent with how 
cloned_interfaces
works where ifn_start is not explicitly run when each interface is 
created.
Instead, we rely on devd kicking off pccard_ether for those as well.
   
   That looks sane too me.
   
   Just one question, I remember that devd is disabled during boot and
   activated later through a sysctl (to ignore events entirely), is this
   the case before or after netif is running? I guess it is activated
   after netif, otherwise we would have seen this issue on booting and
   not just during netif restart.
  
  Hmm, devd starts after netif, but it just worked fine for me when I booted 
  up.
  I also misspoke about cloned_interfaces.  We manually add the 
  cloned_interface
  list to the list of interfaces /etc/rc.d/netif iterates over.  What I am
  puzzled by is that this just worked for me during a test boot.  Hmm, it 
  looks like
  devctl is no longer disabled during boot and then explicitly enabled by 
  devd.
  devctl is now always enabled during boot, but capped at 1000 entries to 
  avoid
  leaking memory.  In fact, it looks like devd tries to recreate a few 
  interfaces
  after netif finishes and is generally confused.  I tried again with 
  devd_flags
  set to -n to flush the initial set of events on boot.  This removed the
  multiple calls to netif on boot on my laptop, but somehow wpa_supplicant is
  still being started by devd (and I'm not sure how now).
 
 I've hacked devd some more and can now see what is going on.  -n doesn't do 
 what
 I thought it does.  It does not throw away pending events on startup, it just
 makes devd not fork until it has walked the initial set of events.  The kernel
 changed (a while ago) to queue the first 1000 events until devd starts up.  
 This
 means that in practice devd gets arrival events for all devices in the system 
 as
 soon as it starts up and triggers duplicate invocations of netif after netif
 finishes.  However, /etc/pccard_ether ignores attempts to start a device that
 is already up, so this should be a no-op on bootup (if my change

  Is it good enough? Should I make an pr?
  I believe that the wlan iface may be avoided and all cases, am I wrong?
 
 That actually is a design question I once wrapped my head around
 unsuccessfully. The lines above are responsible for configuring wlan0
 if it is created, eg.
 ifconfig wlan0 destroy
 ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
 will invoke above code which will then invoke pccard_ether. Changing
 the code as you intent to will prevent this.
 
 Someone should step up an decide what is supposed to happen, should
 wlan0 in that case be configured as stated in rc.conf, or not?
 
 The actual issue though, is in wpa_supplicant itself. It has code to
 prevent it being started twice, but that doesn't kick in because the
 instances are started to fast and we loose (have not yet setup enough)
 information in our net code.

At least it shouldn't call the pccard_ether. My wifi card is not the
pccard nor the ether card :). Here we have an old design + a new
implementation of wlan devices.

And yes, it occurs that the FreeBSD has some kind of a NetworkManager.
In my view it should be optional, because rc.d scripts is mandatory
anyway.

  Uhm, I'm confused by this. Would you mind explaining it in a
 bit more detail?

 The devd runs a pccard_ether script when the IFNET interface
 appears.
 In some rare cases you can see two copies of the
 wpa_sopplicant.

devd:

notify 0 {
match system  IFNET;
match subsystem   !usbus[0-9]+;
match typeATTACH;
action /etc/pccard_ether $subsystem start;
};

service netif restart [iface] runs a wpa_supplicant twice

2013-10-23 Thread clutton
What is the best way to restart a wireless stack?

A command ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 starts the wpa_supplicant
by itself. It means that the netif script runs the wpa_supplicant twice,
always. Is it ok?

There is my debug during booting:

[netif.network_common()] START:
[netif.network_common()] ITERATION:
[wpa_supplicant] SUPPID=30067
[wpa_supplicant] SUPPID=30067
[netif.network_common()] STOP:

It means that during running a network_common() from the /etc/rc.d/netif
the /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant was called twice.

/etc/rc.conf
wlans_ath0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP
ifconfig_em0=DHCP
ipsec_enable=YES

/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf 
network={
  ssid=ssid
  psk=psk
}

11.0-CURRENT
