With WPA encryption and IEEE80211_HW_INCLUDE_IV not set, the logs are full
of TKIP decrypt failure messages. Despite the messages, RX is working.
This patch turns off the message for this case.
This is a bit strange. What's your actual key configuration? Are you
using TKIP at all? I suspect you're using TKIP for multicast and
CCMP/AES for unicast and something else is actually wrong with TKIP
leading to this.
AFAIK, I'm using WPA-PSK TKIP. My AP is a Linksys WRT54G V5. On the "Wireless Security" page, I have
selected "WPA Personal" for the security mode and TKIP for the WPA algorithm. On my laptop, the
connection is managed by NetworkManager. My key is stored in Kwallet and is supplied automatically,
but NM asked for a WPA passphrase when I set it up.
Thing is, it looks as though all frames that trigger the message are
dropped, and I'm fairly certain we don't actually want that.
Or something in your network is actually sending bogus frames. Could you
capture some packets with wireshark on a secondary monitor interface or
a second device and send me a packet dump?
That is certainly possible, either in my network or that of my neighbors. A network list shows 5
APs, two of which are mine. Only the AP in question is using WPA, 3 are using WEP, and one is
unencrypted. I'm collecting a packet dump now using Kismet - I don't run X on my second laptop as it
has too little memory and is slow besides. I'll send you that file off-list. I have filtered out
beacons. I hope that is OK.
Thanks,
Larry
