The bug seems to be in some interaction to do with NetworkManager or the DBUS interface. If I put a WEP config in /etc/wpa_supplicant/ and do:
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -t -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Then wpa_supplicant will associate in just over 10 seconds. Log attached. Comparing the State changes to operating via NetworkManager/DBUS: with lone wpa_supplicant we get states: 1229956617.602179: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING 1229956617.608634: State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING 1229956626.819271: State: ASSOCIATING -> ASSOCIATED 1229956626.819527: State: ASSOCIATED -> COMPLETED With NetworkManager/DBUS we get states: 1229894071.010839: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING 1229894071.011231: State: SCANNING -> INACTIVE 1229894071.013447: State: INACTIVE -> SCANNING 1229894080.172201: State: SCANNING -> DISCONNECTED 1229894081.145672: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING 1229894086.262912: State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING 1229894096.265724: State: ASSOCIATING -> DISCONNECTED 1229894096.266842: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING 1229894101.378873: State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING 1229894111.381811: State: ASSOCIATING -> DISCONNECTED 1229894111.383023: State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING 1229894131.663788: State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING 1229894131.675183: State: ASSOCIATING -> ASSOCIATED 1229894131.676322: State: ASSOCIATED -> COMPLETED Clearly something odd is going on with NetworkManager interaction that causes these disconnected states whilst trying to associate. I think bug #272185 might be related and some people reported the same issue in bug #264881. ** Attachment added: "wifi-wpa-assoc-fast" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20646291/wifi-wpa-assoc-fast -- Some drivers take too long to associate (Was: network-manager 0.7 always asks for WPA passphrase) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
