Hi! My/our setup: I'm using my HP Elitebook 2540p with Intel 6200 abgn pci id: 8086:4239 (rev 35) Kernel from Fedora 14, compat-wireless-20101130, wpa_supplicant from GIT with -D nl80211. I try to connect to CISCO APs with 802.1x. Everything works fine on 2.4GHz frequencies. But on 5GHz frequencies I see the EAP Identity Request from the AP and I see the response in wireshark. But I don't see the response on an other laptop monitoring this channel and the AP logs a timeout after a while for the EAP Request. In the same moments I see > Dec 1 15:53:18 hpwb kernel: [15439.900071] wlan0: dropped frame to 00:26:cb:xx:xx:xx (unauthorized port) > Dec 1 15:53:19 hpwb kernel: [15440.894484] wlan0: dropped frame to 00:26:cb:xx:xx:xx (unauthorized port) > Dec 1 15:53:20 hpwb kernel: [15441.893895] wlan0: dropped frame to 00:26:cb:xx:xx:xx (unauthorized port) wpa_supplicant logs: > 1291215721.998646: Process pending EAPOL frame that was received just before association notification > 1291215721.998677: RX EAPOL from 00:26:cb:xx:xx:xx > 1291215721.998713: Setting authentication timeout: 70 sec 0 usec > 1291215721.998747: EAPOL: Received EAP-Packet frame > 1291215721.998778: EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state RESTART > 1291215721.998806: EAP: EAP entering state INITIALIZE > 1291215721.998835: EAP: EAP entering state IDLE > 1291215721.998865: EAPOL: SUPP_PAE entering state AUTHENTICATING > 1291215721.998895: EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state REQUEST > 1291215721.998924: EAPOL: getSuppRsp > 1291215721.998952: EAP: EAP entering state RECEIVED > 1291215721.998998: EAP: Received EAP-Request id=1 method=1 vendor=0 vendorMethod=0 > 1291215721.999034: EAP: EAP entering state IDENTITY > 1291215721.999065: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED EAP authentication started > 1291215721.999087: EAP: EAP-Request Identity data - hexdump_ascii(len=40): > 1291215721.999159: EAP: using real identity - hexdump_ascii(len=15): > 1291215721.999198: EAP: EAP entering state SEND_RESPONSE > 1291215721.999220: EAP: EAP entering state IDLE > 1291215721.999267: EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state RESPONSE > 1291215721.999290: EAPOL: txSuppRsp > 1291215721.999318: TX EAPOL: dst=00:26:cb:xx:xx:xx > 1291215721.999361: EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state RECEIVE > 1291215721.999411: nl80211: Event message available > 1291215721.999463: nl80211: Ignore connect event (cmd=46) when using userspace SME > 1291215721.999511: RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11003 ([UP][LOWER_UP]) > 1291215721.999551: RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'wlan0' added > 1291215721.999588: Event 5 received on interface wlan0 > 1291215721.999627: RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11003 ([UP][LOWER_UP]) > 1291215721.999665: RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'wlan0' added > 1291215721.999698: Event 5 received on interface wlan0 > 1291215721.999741: RTM_NEWLINK: operstate=0 ifi_flags=0x11003 ([UP][LOWER_UP]) > 1291215721.999779: RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'wlan0' added > 1291215721.999813: Event 5 received on interface wlan0 > 1291215722.007464: nl80211: Event message available > 1291215722.007565: nl80211: Regulatory domain change > 1291215722.007610: Event 30 received on interface wlan0 > 1291215725.001681: EAPOL: startWhen --> 0 > 1291215752.024711: EAPOL: authWhile --> 0 > 1291215752.024808: EAPOL: SUPP_BE entering state TIMEOUT After the timeout wpa_supplicant restarts with an "EAPOL START" packet and everything works cleanly.
