I'm seeing association status code 5 coming from an over-loaded netgear. I'm guessing that the AP is buggy and is trying to use a reason-code for a status-code? A reason-code of 5 would make sense here: "Disassociated because AP is unable to handle all currently associated STAs" (per 802.11-2012, pages 442, 445) # grep sta325 /tmp/iwlog.txt sta325 (phy #3): scan started sta325: new station c4:3d:c7:af:3c:7c sta325 (phy #3): scan finished: 5745, "" sta325 (phy #3): auth c4:3d:c7:af:3c:7c -> 00:1d:ea:be:ef:7c status: 0: Successful sta325: del station c4:3d:c7:af:3c:7c sta325 (phy #3): assoc c4:3d:c7:af:3c:7c -> 00:1d:ea:be:ef:7c status: 5: <unknown> sta325 (phy #3): failed to connect to c4:3d:c7:af:3c:7c, status: 5: <unknown> Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
