https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209939 Bug ID: 209939 Summary: Wireless connectivity issues; fixed by upgrading wpa_supplicant to v2.5 Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: wireless Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jeff@altometrics.com CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-amd64@FreeBSD.org I have a Lenovo T420 with the following wireless card (as reported by `pcic= onf -lv`): iwn0@pci0:3:0:0: class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x13118086 chip=3D0x0085808= 6 rev=3D0x34 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Intel Corporation' device =3D 'Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak]' class =3D network Although I am able to connect to some networks, I have had severe problems connecting to my wireless router at home, which is an Asus RT-N66U, the "Da= rk Knight" router. I have been able to connect once or twice, but usually the connection fails for some reason. The relevant logs have a couple of repeat= ing patterns: Authentication timed out: May 29 19:00:27 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 10:bf:48:53:10:2c (SSID=3D'Goat Net 5GHz' freq=3D5805 MHz) May 29 19:00:37 taipei wpa_supplicant[343]: wlan0: Authentication with 10:bf:48:53:10:2c timed out.

However, I did install wpa_supplicant version 2.5 using pkg. It told me to = add a line to rc.conf to use the installed wpa_supplicant instead of the base o= ne. I rebooted, and my problems disappeared. I don't know why, but apparently t= he newer version fixed some problem I was having. Can we upgrade the base version of wpa_supplicant from 2.0 to 2.5? I don't know what is involved in this, but if somebody will point me in the right direction I may be able to help out. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
