Description Kevin Pearsall 2005-12-16 13:19:28 UTC 
Customer reported, no known workaround yet.  Does anyone have a system we could try this on?

Report is as follows:
Kevin Pearsall <support@slimdevices.com> writes:

When you specify your encryption with bsd, does it create a multi-key
index that you can choose 1 of 4 keys from?  

As far as I know it's a very basic 64 bit wep, with only one key
given. There is an option to specify several keys, but I've only set
one.

If so which one is in use? Other than that, do you know if it's using
open system or shared key authentication?  Is there a way to toggle
that?

Actually I wasn't too sure - here's what my logs say for a successful
association:

so it must be open, then. Meanwhile the squeezebox seems to be looping:

There's more from similar attempts earlier today in the logs I stored in
accessible places on my gateway (http://bsdly.net/~peter/messages and
http://bsdly.net/~peter/squeezeboxlog.txt - the last one is mainly a
tcpdump sniffing for IEEE802_11_RADIO packets while I try to configure
the squeezebox.
Comment 1 Blackketter Dean 2005-12-16 20:39:06 UTC 
Need to know what driver and chipset is used.  Do you have that information?
Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2005-12-16 21:49:27 UTC 
Is this the same as bug 1381?
Comment 3 Kevin Pearsall 2005-12-19 12:53:22 UTC 
more information on this issue.  it's an atheros ar5212 apparently...

the box in question is running OpenBSD-current from 24 July 2005.  

I really should have gotten around to updating, but the last few months
have been really busy.  Hopefully I get up to date sometime within the
next week or so.

the card in that box is a D-Link DWL-AG520, which shows up in dmesg as

ath0 at pci1 dev 4 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 11
ath0: AR5212 5.6 phy 4.1 rf5111 1.7 rf2111 2.3, ETSI1W, address 00:0d:88:c8:a7:c4

with these commands fed to ifconfig via hostname.ath0:

up media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11b chan 6 nwid kakemonster nwkey 0x4baadf00d2
inet 10.168.103.1

the machine is my home gateway, which also runs a tiny mail service for
my vanity domains and acts as a slave name server for my domains.

When I get the machine up with either OpenBSD 3.8-stable or 3.8-current
I will take the time out to test the squeezebox as well.

I am tending to think that it's an 11b vs 11g mode matter (the OpenBSD
ath driver does not support 11g mode fully in the version I'm using on
the gateway). I will report back when I unearth useful info.
Comment 4 Kevin Pearsall 2005-12-19 12:54:15 UTC 
also, i'd guess it's probably unrelated to bug 1381 since that specifically refers to madwifi, which is not in use in this case.
Comment 5 Blackketter Dean 2005-12-19 15:13:57 UTC 
Actually, it may be related.  These are both related to the atheros 5212 chip.  (Which, ironically, is the same chip in SB2/3.)  Keeping both open until we can test with the new driver in the sb.
Comment 6 Richard Titmuss 2006-04-18 11:57:37 UTC 
Can you please try firmware 41 available in the nightly releases. In this version most of the wireless connectivity problems have been fixed. If you still are having problems please reopen this bug. Thanks.
