When I build ath9k kernel module with "Atheros ath9k rate control" option, I can't connect to network by wpa_supplicant. As soon as I disabled this option, authentication passed successfully. WPA2-PSK authentication is used. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build ath9k modules with enabled "Atheros ath9k rate control" option (3.6.1 kernel) 2. Load new module / Reboot 3. Try to connect to network with WPA2-PSK authentication by wpa_supplicant program: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dnl80211 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Please attach any output from the kernel and/or wpa_supplicant that might help resolve this issue.
Ok, the behaviour is even more strange. It connects from time to time. When wpa_supplicant fails to connect in the same time I can do that by Android smartphone, thus I propose the problem not in the router. Here is the info when I connect successfully. As soon as I reproduce failure I'll post it. wpa_cli status Selected interface 'wlan0' bssid=10:bf:48:53:c0:98 ssid=Perfecto id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=CCMP group_cipher=CCMP key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK wpa_state=COMPLETED ip_address=192.168.1.203 wpa_cli scan_results bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 2412 -58 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] Perfecto 00:22:b0:3e:8f:0b 2437 -65 [WPA-PSK-TKIP][ESS] dlink 90:f6:52:3b:db:2e 2452 -65 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] MAGNUM-PC_Network 20:cf:30:88:99:ef 2412 -79 [WPA-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][WPA2-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][ESS] bla-bla wpa_cli list_networks network id / ssid / bssid / flags 0 Perfecto any [CURRENT] rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no dmesg | grep wlan0 IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready wlan0: authenticate with 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 wlan0: send auth to 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 (try 1/3) wlan0: authenticated wlan0: associate with 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 (try 1/3) wlan0: RX AssocResp from 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2) wlan0: associated IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.203 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::92f6:52ff:fe13:1036 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 90:f6:52:13:10:36 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 3573 bytes 1656406 (1.5 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 858 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 2387 bytes 446373 (435.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

Can you try kernel 3.7.9 too?
Yes, but first I want to catch failure on this kernel (computer of my parents) to be sure that I'm not wrong. And to put failure info.
This is failure info: wpa_cli status Selected interface 'wlan0' bssid=10:bf:48:53:c0:98 ssid=Perfecto id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=CCMP group_cipher=CCMP key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK wpa_state=4WAY_HANDSHAKE wpa_cli list_networks network id / ssid / bssid / flags 0 Perfecto any [CURRENT] wpa_cli scan_results bssid / frequency / signal level / flags / ssid 10:bf:48:53:c0:98 2462 -57 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] Perfecto 00:22:b0:3e:8f:0b 2437 -62 [WPA-PSK-TKIP][ESS] dlink 90:f6:52:3b:db:2e 2452 -76 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] MAGNUM-PC_Network 20:cf:30:88:99:ef 2412 -76 [WPA-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][WPA2-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][ESS] bla-bla 20:c9:d0:24:a1:f1 2417 -70 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] Home 1c:7e:e5:4a:3e:47 2417 -77 [WPA-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][WPA2-PSK-TKIP+CCMP][ESS] dlink 84:c9:b2:62:7a:54 2462 -75 [WPA-PSK-CCMP][ESS] NAIV 40:4a:03:ae:a8:07 2437 -62 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] ZyXEL ac:f1:df:2e:2c:1a 2412 -76 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][ESS] DIR-300NRUB7 ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::92f6:52ff:fe13:1036 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 90:f6:52:13:10:36 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 26 bytes 3510 (3.4 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 26 bytes 4030 (3.9 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 rfkill list 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
Created attachment 339950 [details] dmesg output on failure This is dmesg output when failure has happened.
Created attachment 339960 [details] wpa_cli output This is what wpa_cli write on console, when I'm using wpa_cli in interactive mode.
Well now I'm not sure that the problem in kernel configuration or "Atheros ath9k rate control" is enabled. I've catch the situation when I connected successfully and later have lost connection with the similar symptoms. I couldn't ping any address, even 192.168.1.1 (my router). But wpa_cli status gave me "CONNECTED" status (maybe because the status was not refreshed).
Reason 3 is "deauthenticated by local choice" which often means you are running multiple network managers at the same time. Did you disable the net init script (which starts its own instance of wpa_supplicant)? Do you have anything else running?
Thanks for advise. I've checked running services and couldn't find others network managers. Neither any suitable running processes. I'm using Gnome which installed NetworkManager, its running init script put in /etc/init.d. But it is not configured or added to any init level. I'm using wpa_supplicant for connecting to WPA2-PSK network and dhcpcd for getting IP addresses. Maybe there is some other ways to look at?
When I talking that wpa_supplicant failed I often mean that it starts by init script, without running it manually. I open browser and it works, then after some time of browsing something fail and I can't open html pages.

We would like to know if this is still present. Can you please try =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.7?
Yes, of course. On this week I will make deep testing with this kernel.
(In reply to Victor Malov from comment #17) > Yes, of course. On this week I will make deep testing with this kernel. We're more than a month later now, do you still experience this? If so, please try a more recent kernel; 3.8.13, 3.9.5 and 3.10-rc4.
