Hi, I'm seeing a problem running hostapd with a BCM4330 on a SolidRun Hummingboard with 5.6 kernels - I can't get WPA2 authentication to complete with any client station. 5.3 on the same hardware was working fine. Monitoring the wifi network using another machine, I see: 02:31:53.753856 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -45dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Authentication (Open System)-1: Successful 02:31:53.754159 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -38dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.754781 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -39dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) SA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Authentication (Open System)-2: 02:31:53.755097 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -46dBm signal antenna 3 RA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.785688 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -44dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Assoc Request (My-SSID) [1.0 2.0 5.5 11.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 Mbit] 02:31:53.785993 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -38dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.787462 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -39dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) SA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Assoc Response AID(1) : PRIVACY : Successful 02:31:53.787777 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -44dBm signal antenna 3 RA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.803124 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -38dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) SA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Action: BA ADDBA Request 02:31:53.803423 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -44dBm signal antenna 3 RA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.804871 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -37dBm signal antenna 3 CF +QoS DA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) LLC, dsap SNAP (0xaa) Individual, ssap SNAP (0xaa) Command, ctrl 0x03: oui Ethernet (0x000000), ethertype EAPOL (0x888e), length 99: EAPOL key (3) v2, len 95 02:31:53.805181 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -44dBm signal antenna 3 RA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.831347 54.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11g -50dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) DA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) 02:31:53.833079 24.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11g -51dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.833082 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -45dBm signal antenna 3 CF +QoS BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) DA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) LLC, dsap SNAP (0xaa) Individual, ssap SNAP (0xaa) Command, ctrl 0x03: oui Ethernet (0x000000), ethertype EAPOL (0x888e), length 121: EAPOL key (3) v1, len 117 02:31:53.833390 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -37dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.833910 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -45dBm signal antenna 3 BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) DA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Action: BA ADDBA Response 02:31:53.834222 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -37dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) Acknowledgment 02:31:53.834646 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -37dBm signal antenna 3 RA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) TA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) CTL(4) SEQ(16) BAR 02:31:53.835105 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -45dBm signal antenna 3 RA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) BA 02:31:54.805391 1.0 Mb/s 2412 MHz 11b -37dBm signal antenna 3 CF +QoS DA:sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (oui Unknown) BSSID:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) SA:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap:ap (oui Unknown) LLC, dsap SNAP (0xaa) Individual, ssap SNAP (0xaa) Command, ctrl 0x03: oui Ethernet (0x000000), ethertype EAPOL (0x888e), length 99: EAPOL key (3) v2, len 95 and it repeats. However, turning on debug in hostapd shows that hostapd sends the EAPOL 1/4 message as expected, but never receives a response - it seems the EAPOL response that we can see above in tcpdump is getting dropped somewhere between the BCM4330 and hostapd. nl80211: Drv Event 19 (NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION) received for wlan0 nl80211: New station sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 wlan0: Event ASSOC (0) received wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 IEEE 802.11: associated STA included RSN IE in (Re)AssocReq New STA ap_sta_add: register ap_handle_timer timeout for sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (300 seconds - ap_max_inactivity) nl80211: Set STA flags - ifname=wlan0 addr=sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 total_flags=0x60 flags_or=0x0 flags_and=0xfffffff1 authorized=0 wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA: event 1 notification wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=3 (wlan0) alg=0 addr=0x20190a8 key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=0 key_len=0 addr=sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 nl80211: set_key failed; err=-22 Invalid argument) RSN: PTK removal from the driver failed IEEE 802.1X: Ignore STA - 802.1X not enabled or forced for WPS wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA: start authentication WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK entering state INITIALIZE wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=3 (wlan0) alg=0 addr=0x20190a8 key_idx=0 set_tx=1 seq_len=0 key_len=0 addr=sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 nl80211: set_key failed; err=-22 Invalid argument) RSN: PTK removal from the driver failed nl80211: Set STA flags - ifname=wlan0 addr=sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 total_flags=0x60 flags_or=0x0 flags_and=0xfffffffe authorized=0 wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 IEEE 802.1X: unauthorizing port WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK_GROUP entering state IDLE WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK entering state AUTHENTICATION WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK entering state AUTHENTICATION2 WPA: Re-initialize GMK/Counter on first station GMK - hexdump(len=32): [REMOVED] Key Counter - hexdump(len=32): [REMOVED] GTK - hexdump(len=16): [REMOVED] wpa_driver_nl80211_set_key: ifindex=3 (wlan0) alg=3 addr=0x60a9ac key_idx=1 set_tx=1 seq_len=0 key_len=16 nl80211: KEY_DATA - hexdump(len=16): [REMOVED] broadcast key Searching a PSK for sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 prev_psk=(nil) Searching a PSK for sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 prev_psk=(nil) WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK entering state PTKSTART wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake WPA: Send EAPOL(version=2 secure=0 mic=0 ack=1 install=0 pairwise=1 kde_len=0 keyidx=0 encr=0) WPA: Replay Counter - hexdump(len=8): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 WPA: Use EAPOL-Key timeout of 1000 ms (retry counter 1) wlan0: hostapd_new_assoc_sta: reschedule ap_handle_timer timeout for sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 (300 seconds - ap_max_inactivity) wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA: EAPOL-Key timeout WPA: sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA_PTK entering state PTKSTART wlan0: STA sm:ar:tp:ho:ne:07 WPA: sending 1/4 msg of 4-Way Handshake WPA: Send EAPOL(version=2 secure=0 mic=0 ack=1 install=0 pairwise=1 kde_len=0 keyidx=0 encr=0) ... I'm unable to add a monitor interface on the AP itself (hardware doesn't support monitor + AP). How do I debug where the failure is occuring?
