Hello, I'm (again) trying to solve (debug) a weird problem with Asus WL-167G: 0b05:1706 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. WL-167G v1 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2500USB] The problem only appears when HW encryption is enabled and connecting to an AP configured as WPA2 TKIP+AES. HW encryption works when the AP is configured as TKIP-only or AES-only. It also works when AP is configured as TKIP+AES but wpa_supplicant is forced to use TKIP as pairwise cipher (pairwise=TKIP) SW encryption works always. The problem is that no packets are transmitted. I can't see DHCP broadcasts on other machine using tcpdump. But when I run tcpdump on the rt2500usb, I see broadcasts from the other machine, so receive seems to work fine. Added some printk()s to the driver, 6 packets from unsuccessful DHCP: [ 371.760073] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 371.852062] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 371.944054] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.036068] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.128056] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.220053] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.312053] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.404055] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.496101] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.588077] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 372.688073] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.272513] wlan1: authenticate with 00:13:d4:0f:f3:19 (try 1) [ 373.272552] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.274533] wlan1: authenticated [ 373.274564] wlan1: associate with 00:13:d4:0f:f3:19 (try 1) [ 373.274581] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.277696] wlan1: RX AssocResp from 00:13:d4:0f:f3:19 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1) [ 373.277704] wlan1: associated [ 373.308247] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.308392] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.315999] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 373.340306] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 373.340318] rt2500usb_config_key key->hw_key_idx=0 SET_KEY hw_key_idx = 0 OK [ 373.344521] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_TKIP [ 373.344527] rt2500usb_config_key key->hw_key_idx=0 SET_KEY hw_key_idx = 1 OK [ 373.412083] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 375.160233] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 375.160246] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 375.160254] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 375.240078] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 381.163494] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 381.163507] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 381.163515] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 381.244066] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 388.165180] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 388.165194] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 388.165201] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 388.244069] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 399.169468] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 399.169481] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 399.169489] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 399.248067] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 404.080428] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 404.180066] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 410.168836] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 410.168850] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 410.168858] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 410.248068] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 414.374545] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 414.472061] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 422.169686] rt2x00crypto_key_to_cipher: ALG_CCMP [ 422.169699] rt2x00crypto_tx_overhead=8 [ 422.169706] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 [ 422.252069] rt2500usb_write_tx_desc: key_idx=0 Seems that it's trying to use CCMP, which is good. I wonder if the keys are properly handled in rt2500usb_config_key. They seem to be uploaded to the HW correctly (one at index 0, one at 1) - but can't tell without any HW docs. I did some framedumps before but don't know what to do with them (what to look for): http://www.rainbow-software.org/linux_files/rt2500usb/dump-wpa2-bad.txt http://www.rainbow-software.org/linux_files/rt2500usb/dump-wpa2-good.txt Anything else I can try? -- Ondrej Zary -- 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
