Public bug reported: I have a Thinkpad T60p with AR5212 atheros chip, and it works somewhat with 11b, however a LEAP access point with hidden ESSID it fails to work with consistantly: /home/jbj/Dwpa_supplicant -Dwext -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0 Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>' Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out. Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>' Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out. Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>' Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

However wpa_supplicant can operate if set to 11b: # iwpriv ath0 mode 11b;wpa_supplicant -Dwext -c wpa_supplicant.conf -i ath0 Trying to associate with SSID '<SSID>' Associated with 00:17:0f:e4:83:70 CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED EAP authentication started CTRL-EVENT-EAP-METHOD EAP vendor 0 method 17 (LEAP) selected CTRL-EVENT-EAP-SUCCESS EAP authentication completed successfully CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:17:0f:e4:83:70 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=] However DHCP still doesn't work.... $ sudo dhclient ath0 There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 7433 killed old client process, removed PID file Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.5 Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.
