Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge Wpa-supplicant-0.4.0 2.reboot with wpa-supplicant on ipw2200 3.see error when loading and running net.eth1 script Actual Results: driver continues to load and get address but can not go more then 15 feet from base station without signal dropping to almost nill Expected Results: wpa-supplicant loads without error and allows free roaming within the range of the wireless network, not having to be within 15 or so feet for decent connection. uname -a Linux nayuki 2.6.11-ck3 #11 Wed Apr 27 06:18:51 PDT 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.11-ck3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-ck3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1500MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.11 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.5 [2.3.5 (#1, Apr 28 2005, 16:50:54)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.16 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi aim alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts canna cdr cjk crypt cups curl directfb dvd dvdread emboss encode flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 ithreads jack java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpg ncurses nls nocd nptl ogg oggvorbis oggvorbix openal opengl oss pam pcmcia pdflib perl png pthreads python quicktime readline samba sdl spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis x86 xine xml xml2 xmms xv zlib video_cards_radeon userland_GNU kernel_linux libc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS 0.3.8 version of wpa_supplicant does not have this problem

Receiving similar error with madwifi-0.1_pre20050420 and baselayout-1.11.9-r1, although with different results. iwconfig shows that ath0 properly associates with the desired AP, properly connect, but will continue to cycle through all other channels and wpa_supplicant.conf entries despite the fact. Manually setting the network channel stopped channel cycling, but it continued to cycle between the desired AP and blank-ESSID. $ uname -a Linux fuu 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #1 Thu Apr 14 10:24:34 PDT 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51.19 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.3-20050110, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r1, 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.9 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4-r1 [2.3.4 (#1, Feb 20 2005, 15:44:15)] distcc 2.16 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r7 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.14 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/public/gentoo/ http://gentoo.asgn.ca/" LANG="en_CA.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="-j6" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://sui/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aalib acpi alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts c++ cdr cjk crypt cups curl dvd emboss encode esd foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gtk gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcmcia pdflib perl png python quicktime readline real samba sdl slang spell sse sse2 ssl svga tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb vorbis xml xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux libc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY Again, version 0.3.8 does not have this problem.
