*** Bug 201430 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** giri : peper: ask him to use a (d/r)ecent version of windows driver giri : he is using ancient version giri : and for any help with ndiswrapper, he must provide full wpasupplicant debug trace Tried with the following more recent versions of bcmwl5 driver: 3.100.35.1, 3.120.27.0, 3.140.16.0 Same results with all of them, except the ioctl error output no longer appears when restarting the initscript. And with the second and third ones on that list, the device power/tx LEDs remain inactive. How do I go about getting a debug trace from wpa_supplicant? It has no debug use-flag. PS - am now using ndiswrapper-1.50. I had a similar problem--see my duplicate (comment #1). I can't use a newer driver than the one I have with ndiswrapper, because they just don't work (they install, but they don't find the hardware). I did manage to get it to connect using the driver that I have--after I enabled the CCMP and TKIP stuff in Networking --> Wireless, "make oldconfig" knocked it out--but, only as described in my bug report. At this point I have given up after 3 days of trying and switched to using the kernel's bcm43xx driver. It's "experimental", but it works for me... Not sure if this is what you were after but here is the output from starting wpa_supplicant on the commandline with verbose debugging:

Daemonize..
wpa_cli doesn't give any additional information than before when wpa_supplicant is started like this.
Incidentally, I have no problem connecting to non-encrypted APs, and if possible I will try out a WEP AP later.
I am ready to build an out-of-portage wpa_supplicant with debug enabled if that's what you need, but would appreciate knowing if you have any specific guidelines for doing so.
Hi,
Same problem here, can associate to non encrypted networks but WPA network doesn't work anymore since upgrade of kernel + ndiswrapper.
Here's what wpa_supplicant tells me (stopped with CTRL+C):

Versions of wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper I use: genbox ~ # emerge -pv wpa_supplicant ndiswrapper These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Tested gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r9 and 2.6.23-r3 with same result and nothing relevant in dmesg except that ndiswrapper module is loaded correctly. I have another wireless computer with same version of wpa_supplicant but with ipw3945 and it works fine so I'd go for a pure ndiswrapper issue. Observed a similar behaviour on my laptop system with a slight variation that after 10 to 15 minutes the key negotiation does complete successfully and I do get my wireless connection up and running for a while until the next rekeying sequence (i assume). Looking at the previous comment I tried to revert to ndiswrapper-1.49, but this did not change the behaviour so remerged it. Below some additional info.

This sounds like a behaviour I observed just before I gave up on this card. With gentoo-sources-2.6.24 and ndiswrapper-1.51, I left it running and fell asleep and at some point within 2 hours it began to work. Interesting that this is a different chipset driver and same behaviour... Might have something to add to this issue. When I had the failing handshake I did following actions: 1. stop net.wlan0 script. 2. rmmod ndiswrapper. 3. modprobed ndiswrapper. After these steps I tried to start net.wlan0 again, but got message it was already started and my wireless connection had received an IP address from my DHCP server. Still not sure what could possibly be going on, but this may give someone else an idea. (In reply to comment #13) > Might have something to add to this issue.

I stumbled upon a difference between wpa_supplicant as package in the gentoo distribution and when I build the original sources. In the distribution the package uses DBUS for the control interface. I did build the original sources without using DBUS and I always get a successful pairwise and group key handshake immediately. Currently, I switched over to Ubuntu so I can not verify whether the problem would be resolved when adding '-dbus' to the USE flags for wpa_supplicant (in /etc/portage/package.use), but maybe someone else can try this.
