Bug #6658
Updated by Jim Pingle about 8 years ago
Wouldn't file this here, except that the same box/config had zero problems with previous 2.3.x versions. HW: APU2C4, Compex WLE200NX, amd64 full install (SSD). The DHCP Relay Service cannot be started on only result (tested with multiple Android phones and two Dell laptops) after 2.3.2 with ath0, clients do not receive upgrade is that the client connects, grabs an IP address. and immediately gets disconnected. <pre> dhcrelay Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc IEEE 802.11: associated Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: event 1 notification Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: start authentication Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc IEEE 802.1X: unauthorizing port Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: received EAPOL-Key frame (2/4 Pairwise) Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: sending 3/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: received EAPOL-Key frame (4/4 Pairwise) Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc IEEE 802.1X: authorizing port Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc RADIUS: starting accounting session 579B2F3C-00000001 Jul 29 12:28:46 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN) Jul 29 12:28:59 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc IEEE 802.11: disassociated Jul 29 12:28:59 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc WPA: event 2 notification Jul 29 12:28:59 hostapd ath0_wlan0: STA 94:35:0a:d9:61:bc IEEE 802.1X: unauthorizing port </pre> Some other HW/config information: <pre> # dmesg | grep -i ath0_wlan0 -i re2 -i re0 -a -m replace 192.168.1.161 ath Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Relay Agent 4.3.4 ath0: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xfe800000-0xfe80ffff at device 0.0 on pci4 Copyright 2004-2016 Internet Systems Consortium.
