Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: The iwl3945 driver does not claim to be capable of scans (in the LUM code)

Fix: Take the fix used in LBM and Intrepid to LUM which adds the scan_capa framework.

Testcase: Wireless card is not able to connect to hidden SSIDs without this.

Linux rune-laptop 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Sat Mar 8 02:29:24 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

After the latest network-manager update (early march 2008) using hardy, I cannot associate with any wireless networks.

network-manager version: 0.6.6-0ubuntu1.

Attatched is the logging to daemon.log by network-manager.

This happens on two laptops, one using Ubuntu hardy with ipw2200 wireless driver, and one using Kubuntu Hardy with iwl3945.
Logging attached is from the Kubuntu laptop.

Using the Ubuntu Hardy computer (running gnome), I sometimes can associate if I use the kill switch or disable and enable wireless. Seems like this all depends on timing though, I can only associate in something like one out of 10 tries.

Other computers have no problems associating with the AP.

using this bug to track the iwl3945 issue. maybe subscribe to bug 199679 which tracks the ipw2200 regression.

iwl3945 driver appears to claim to not support scan_capa:

 "Mar 11 22:45:17 rune-laptop NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00). "

this appears to be a bug, because network manager falls back to stupid mode and sets "AP_SCAN 2" if the driver doesn't claim to support scan_capa. However AP_SCAN 1 should work for it from what i can tell and once the driver properly exposes that this should be fixed.

Adding linux-ubuntu-modules as target. and milestoning as well.

Alexander,

Please note that I also have a problem with Hidden SSID on another computer,
running updated Ubuntu Hardy with the ipw2200 chipset, see bug

Indirect scanning ('iwlist scan') should report information about
hidden APs. When an AP is hidden it does not respond to active scanning,
we thus have to use passive scanning to locate these APs.

Daniele,

What version of hal do you have installed? From your syslog it appears that network-manager is looping, so this is more likely to be bug #204768. In any case, your problem is not related to this bug, since you're using a different wireless driver.

Sasquatch (sasquatch) wrote :

This problem is Network manager related. I don't use Network manager and at home my ssid is hidden. It takes some time, but eventually wpa_supplicant can connect without any problem. This is with module 1.1.17kds from the 2.6.24-5 modules, and at http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download there is a newer version. With that module version, 1.2.26k, it works just fine. Scanning however doesn't if you use 'iwlist scan'. Scan results from wpa_supplicant do work.

Note:
Module 1.2.0 never worked for me.

please test the network manager branch now associated with this bug. it adds workarounds for iwl3945 and iwl4965 (among others).

Instructions on how to get it to your disc can be found at the branch url given

to build you can just run

 $ debuild -b

out of the branch directory. use dpkg -i to install the packages for testing.

If you still cannot connect to hidden SSID, please attach your complete /var/log/syslog to the bug and state clearly if you could connect to hidden networks in gutsy.

[ 121.966837] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.25

First off, NetworkManager does not report scan_capa, even though above I read that this driver now supports it:

NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'iwl3945'.
NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00).

In addition, LP #176090 claims that now iwlwifi has LED trigger (RX and TX support). On my machine, the LED does come on (which is really a first for iwlwifi, so I'm happy about that), but it does not do anything once it has come on. In addition, it does not appear as if the kill switch actually is able to kill the wireless -- flipping the switch leaves the light on, but it does disable networking.

Hello

I erroneously reported in #200952. Please bear with me, it was my first bug report!

Same problem here with Intel 3945 ABG. I am using an HP Compaq nx7400. The wireless button LED is on.

I am configuring a network with a given ESSID and WEP hex key using network manager. The AP is hidden, and since is our company's wireless network, I can't unhide it to test.

We have two cases here I am trying to isolate.

Case 1) Despite the interface gets a valid configuration (addresses for DNS servers and gateway are correct; interface IP, netmask and broadcast addresses are correct, too), I can't even ping the gateway (ping results in an "Destination host unreachable" error).

Case 2) the network interface doesn't even get a valid address

Doing a /etc/init.d/networking restart makes the wireless interface usable

Please ask me anything useful to solve this bug (files, command outputs...) and I'll be happy to help.

lum-2.6.24 is also not present in intrepid. If this bug still applies to intrepid, please open a new task on the relevant package.

Has there been a regression on this bug with the update to 2.6.24-23? I ask because going from -22 to -23 caused me to no longer be able to connect to a hidden SSID WPA Enterprise network on campus, as reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317976 . Running -22 still allows me to connect. Thanks for any info that can be provided!

Alexander,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I thought I had subscribed to this bug. Should I just file a bug for the "linux" package?

Yes, this bug is a general bug; the regression you see is worth a bug
on its own. Please go ahead and file a new bug.

Alexander,

Thanks for the info. Is there something wrong with the bug I had already filed and linked to above? ( http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/317976 ) I believe it is filed against the correct package. If there is more information needed or the source package is not correct, could you let me know in the comments to that bug? I'll stop posting here as tehy bugs may not be related.

For LUM the following patch might add the required interface. I placed some test packages on
http://people.ubuntu.com/~smb/bug200950/ but I am not sure whether it is possible to get them tested in time to make the 8.04.3 goal...

Though I am not really sure why I already committed the patch, it seems to be around in LBM and Intrepid it must have looked sensible enough. If possible we should poke people for a verification.
