Hi, After I've installed net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.11-r1, dhcpcd and pump don't work anymore. (which worked fine with 1.0.10) This patch : http://ketrenos.com/patches/bcast.test.patch seems to fix the problem !

*** Bug 123100 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please retest with ipw2200-1.0.12.
I get the same thing with 1.0.11 as well as 1.0.12. Why don't you try the patch on the ipw2200 project page? http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/patches/ipw2200-1.0.11-broadcast.patch "If you experience problems with DHCP stalling out and not being able to obtain an IP address, but statically configuring an IP address allows you to access the network, you may need this patch to change how broadcast packets are detected."
I tried 1.0.12, with doesn't work (hangs at dhcp as 1.0.11 does), I tried the ipw2200-1.0.11-broadcast.patch on 1.0.12 but it stills don't work. The same patch on 1.0.11 fixes the problem ! Boris.
The bug I filed http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123100 have been marked as a dup of this. I've tried with 1.0.12 with gentoo-sources 2.6.15-r4. The result is that dhcpcd doesn't work anymore. Tried with wpa_supplicant and iwconfig.
Hi, Could you try this patch please : http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/patches/ipw2200-1.0.11-broadcast.patch The ipw guys on IRC told me it should fix the bug, but it doesn't work for me (with 1.0.12), having a 2nd tester would be nice ;) Thanks, Boris.
Sorry, applying the patch for 1.0.11 to 1.0.12 resolves the issues for me.
On my side, I have same problem but using patch didn't help... had to execute a few more step: rerun manually the assoc (seems the enc is not correct... baselayout prob ?)

(In reply to comment #8) Btw, didn't succeed same steps without a patched ipw2200
Here's what I did 1) Create an ebuild in the portage overlay that adds the patch and called it ipw2200-1.0.12-r1 2) Emerge the new ebuild with the patch 3) /etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop 3) modprobe -r ipw2200 4) modprobe ipw2200 5) /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start And it just worked fine (WEP + dhcp).
Created attachment 80303 [details] updated ebuild for ipw2200-1.0.12 with broadcast patch. Works for me I tared the ebuild from my PORTDIR_OVERLAY for your convenience. Works nice for me with the 1.0.11-broadcast-patch.
Question for the people were it works out-of-box and are using WEP: Do you use a hex key or a ascii one (eg "mykey") (My system don't like wep ascii key... broadcast don't work as expected but I guess the problems is a wrong key setting [iwconfig returns a wrong key during dhcpcd requests - curious about this strange issue)

Note that it worked with the ascii one before upgrading baselayout, ipw2200 is 2.6.16-rc4 in kernel one. May be wrong, but I think that we have two different problems here. Thank you very much.

Thanks too for confirmation ;-)
Likewise, the same problem is happening with my laptop's ipw2200 miniPCI card and 1.0.11-r1 build. The patch from the ipw2200 team (http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/patches/ipw2200-1.0.11-broadcast.patch) fixes things perfectly when applied.
(In reply to comment #14) > Thanks too for confirmation ;-) > I found that removing single quotes from the key value solves the problem. I had key_<essid>="s:'<ascii key'" because of special characters (*) in ascii key. That's probably no more needed unless you have spaces.
*** Bug 123662 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please test with the newly added net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.13.
works for me :)
works for me too ;)
That's good news. Thank you for testing.
Closing as FIXED.
