Can't assign wlan device on generic-pc-2.11.1b133

[skua]

Hello there!

Good news:

After some more testing here, I managed to make wpa2 work and connect, acquiring a DHCP lease at last. Bellow, the steps I took:

-- I wrote the following wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf file, based on my FreeBSD desktop's wpa_supplicant.conf:

Code: [Select]

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

eapol_version=2

network={
ssid="testing"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
psk="poiuytrewq"
}
-- Using exec.php I uploaded it to my t1n1wall testing unit.

-- Moved it from /tmp to /var/etc

-- Executed /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -i wlan1 -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.pid -c /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

And voilą... It woked! I am using it right now to post this reply and It is performing just fine!

I have to say that the only way I could make it work and get a lease was by adding the option eapol_version=2 to the config file. This option is not needed on my FreeBSD desktop, that uses an Atheros chip based card.

So I think it is related to the RaLink chip on the USB dongle.

Anyway, wpa_supplicant keeps dying during boot, and I have to manually repeat the process every time.

What could be the reason?

Thank you!

Although entering those commands manually result in a connection, I forgot to mention that it takes about 2 minutes to get a lease from DHCP server after issuing /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -i wlan1 -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.pid -c /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

All my other devices, Android, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD based, connect and get leases from the same server in just a few seconds.

Now I'm stuck.

T.y.

[skua]

Good morning,

Testing b139 now. Yes, that new configuration for wpa_supplicant:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /var/etc/wpa_supplicant-wlan1.conf

fast_reauth=1
ap_scan=1
eapol_version=2

network={
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
ssid="testing"
psk="poiuytrewq"
proto=WPA RSN
pairwise=TKIP CCMP
}
works, but wpa_supplicant seems to keep dying during system boot.

I still have to manually enter the wpa_supplicant sequence commands and wait about 2 to 3 minutes for it to get a DHCP lease.

Here we go again!

I'm gonna configure and try different DHCP server hardware and see what happens with this very same t1n1wall config.

Brb...

[skua]

Hi,

in regard to my last reply:

Same behavior using different servers/config: a delay of about 2 to 3 minutes to get a lease.

And wpa_supplicant keeps dying on boot.

Could something like ifconfig_wlan1="WPA SYNCDHCP" help in this case?

Thank you.

[skua]

Searching the internet, I've found this:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/46940/

Can this be useful?

P.S.: If I use static addresses on WAN interface, system gets connected immediately after manually issuing the wpa_supplicant command.

Analyzing dmesg I noticed that run0 firmare (run0: firmware RT3071 ver. 0.33) is loaded twice during boot process:

too many stray irq 7's: not logging anymore

Can that point the reason of wpa_supplicant's "death"?

I think the system is disconnecting interface wlan1 somehow, so wpa_supplicant loses it and dies in the sequence, then wlan1 reconnects again. (?)

And about the line: ifa_maintain_loopback_route: insertion failed for interface wlan1: 17 ??

Enabling or disabling System: Advanced setup --> Additional firmware --> Enable Ralink USB wireless devices
has no effect on wpa_supplicant boot behavior.

As a workaround, maybe running wpa_supplicant later in the boot process could do the trick?

Thanks in advance.

[andywhite]

I posted an updated version last night, can you test with that ?  it adds the eapol config , but also changes the flags to log properly (it wasn't actually logging correctly), so hopefully you might see some logs now with errors for wpa_supplicant on boot !

[skua]

Yes, I downloaded the last version (b139) and performed those tests with it.

Gonna analyze the logs better and see if I can find something relevant.

Thanks.

I am using t1n1wall generic-pc-2.11.1b139.img

Also, status.php points to nothing related to wpa_supplicant... and the pure dump of dmesg I already posted second to last reply.

What should I do now?

Tks.

[andywhite]

Please try b140.  wpa_supplicant was exiting before syslog started to record that it was exiting.

b140 starts syslog earlier, and also fixes the reason why it was exiting (due to the interface going down in the wan configuration code)

[skua]

G'night!

Well, good news and bad news using b140.

Now my t1n1wall unit connects to the DHCP server thru WAN just fine and fast, as expected. wpa_supplicant seems to be running nicely.

But I can only check the system status via console now. For some reason b140 introduced a problem:

it just stopped broadcasting the LAN's SSID in AP mode (it is not hidden), so I cannot connect to it and access to check it via webGUI.

I reseted the system to factory defaults, made a fresh & clean reinstall via dd, but it didn't solve the problem.

I think we're almost there...

Regards.

[skua]

Hello,

it is worth to mention that if I change position of the dongles on the thin client usb ports, LAN starts to broadcast SSID again, but now it can't assign a DHCP lease to my computer, as if all the problem was inverted from WAN to LAN:

In order to access webGUI, now I have to connect an ethernet cable to OPT1 (rl0 bridged to LAN) and manually remove the usb dongle (rum0) assigned to LAN.

Then reinserting the dongle and executing ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rum0 and ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 to reconfigure the interface:

But if I try to run hostapd -B -P /var/run/hostapd-wlan0.pid /var/etc/hostapd-wlan0.conf, it gives me this:

Code: [Select]

bsd_set_if_media: SIOCSIFMEDIA Device not configured

hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started

I hope that such info can help someway.
