Fedora Networking :: 12 + Hostapd + Ath9k Hang - Did Not Acknowledge Authentication Response?
Dec 3, 2009
I have a small intel Atom based computer that acts as a 'combo' firewall / router / server / 802.11 Access Point that services my end user needs. I'm using hostapd 0.7.0 and Fedora 12 x86_64. The system works fine on Fedora 11. I decided to upgrade to Fedora 12 last night, and completely broke my wireless. Note that configurations are _identical_ between the Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 installation. Though, I did recompile the hostapd binary under Fedora 12 libs, etc.
Anyway, Client #1 associates fine. Client #2 associates, and hostapd hangs. Strace'ing the process shows nothing... just.. dead. SIGTERM works, but hostapd is unable to 'unallocate' the wlan0 interface, which appears to be in a hung state, so I can't simply re-start hostapd. So, I have to remove wlan0 from my bridge, them rmmod ath9k, modprobe ath9k, re-add wlan0 into the bridge, restart hostapd.. But the second association consistently hangs it every time. Next, I went and downloaded the latest compat-wireless drivers as of this posting. Selected the ath9k driver, built the modules, replaced them in my /lib/modules tree, depmod'd, reboot, etc..
BIG difference. Now hostapd does not hang, and there appears to be better logging/debug than ever before. This made me happy. Unfortunately, there appears to be a new problem. Clients can now associate, but only for a split second. They are immediately disconnected, and the following message appears via hostapd's stdout logging: hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:21:5c:39:a3:99 IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response
For every client that attempts connection. Note that I'm using WPA2-EAP-PEAP w/ MSCHAPv2. I've also, for kicks, just tried regular WPA2-PSK with similar results. I'm using a mixture of clients, Windows XP, Windows 7, Linux Ubuntu, Fedora, and others.

I've been running hostapd for a while in 11g mode with great success. Having upgraded the router machine to maverick today, I had a poke at getting hostapd working in 11n mode without too much fuss. From cursory reading of old forum posts, this appears to now be built in functionality without needing to compile drivers or hostapd from source - this is borne out by a few 11n-related lines in the default configuration file.
When adding those two lines to my config file, though, I get the same error message I did a few years ago when trying this out for the first time:

Anybody have any idea that how to set the ath9k in master mode in fedora 11. I am unable to set the same.
I am using the D-Link DWA556 card using the kernel built in ath9k.Find below the output I got while setting up it in master mode sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode master.Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06):SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.Does that mean that master mode is not supported?Also Want the information if there is any separate community or development group for ath9k development and download the source of same except linuxwireless.com.

Today I finally installed Fedora 11 on my new laptop. To my surprise wireless was working already, this was something very new. however, i realized that the ath9k had a very bad connectivity. I cant even connect to my router from my bedroom which is less then 10 metres away. Is there some remedy for this unstable module? I have tried madwifi but it doesn't seem to work with my card which is a Atheros AR9285. Hopefully someone can shed some light on how he/she overcame this problem.

I have setup hostapd and a bridged setup with br0 bridging eth0 and wlan0. The setup works but unfortunately not on bootup. The reason is that the bridge can't add iface wlan0 because it is down for some reason at this time. When hostapd is running (after the network script) the interface is up and can be added to bridge via

I have a Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my HP Mini 210, and is having a problemth authentication dialogs when applications requests for elevated permissions. As far as I concern, there are two types of them, one is the kind when you run anything with gksu where the background dims and a dialog pops up. Another type is when you try toinstall software through Synaptic and a dialog box requests for your password. I am having problems with the later one.
Whenever the authentication dialog box pops up, after typing my password and presses enter, or the Authenticate button, the password field disappears while leaving the authentication dialog on the screen. The Authenticate and Cancel buttons are still clickable, but they are not bringing any actions by clicking them. I would have to let the application to continue with elevated permissions by manually closing the dialog. There are very very rareoccasions where the dialog disappears after I click on authenticate, which I can say is 1 in every 100 times

Whenever I make an ssh connection to my Fedora 14 server, the echo of my keyboard strokes are very jerky. It will echo a few, then stop for a moment, then it echos all the keyboard entries from the time it stopped responding all at once. Anyone have any ideas on why this started happening? This happens from any computer I use to connect. It happens with Putty and SSH Secure Shell.

I currently have an Atheros a5k 802.11g PCI card and I am looking to upgrade to 802.11n. Are there any cards that support the Atheros chipset (a9k) or something similar? I do have PCIe x16 available if I can go with that. Plus, I could go with an external USB 802.11n wireless adapter, but I'd rather prefer the internal card to save space. I don't mind any PCI/PCIe adapters taking up slots in my motherboard, although I might plan to upgrade to an ATX motherboard so I can have more slots available.

I run the following command on my terminal to start hostapd which sets up my router to behave like a wireless access point. $ ./hostapd -dd hostapd.conf The service starts successfully. But now i am trying to figure out a way to run this program automatically at start up so that my access point is permanently visible.

I have had some trouble with understanding the wireless drivers. I am using backtrack 4 R1, and the reason was merely for the network and having many necessary networking dependencies already there. However I found that I am using a HAL for the ath9k and madwifi-ng drivers, thus I must patch the card and go through all of that.
The specific distribution I am using is Backtrack 4 R1 with KDE3 and ubuntu on the 2.6.34 kernel. I know I have through an update script found the wireless drivers and downloaded them, however all attempts to get it to fully work haven't helped. I checked the forums, and it doesn't seem like they consider it a backtrack specific question but a linux specific question. I performed hwinfo and it returns ath9k and the memory address, channels 1-14, wlan frequencies(2.412,2.417, 2.422, 2.427, 2.432, 2.437, 2.442, 2.447, 2.452, 2.457, 2.462, 2.467, 2.472, 2.484. I have all modes of encryption set.
I am using both ifconfig and iwconfig with a wicd frontend to access the network typically. Unfortunately I am only seeing a wlan0 and no ath0. Furthermore, I manually issue these commands I am doing so I set each aspect of the card up (i.e essid, channel, mtu, fragmentation, etc....).
Now I did shed some light upon this in the sense that I found out how to initialize the madwifi-ng hal abstraction layer via 'start airmon-ng wlan0' and then it returns.....
mon0 ath9k py0 etc. etc. etc.( this isn't exact I am unfortunately not at my computer. But the device is then able to work, however I am not sure as to why I am not able to have the ath0 device in my wireless devices if indeed everything else appears to be ath0.

I am trying to get my wireless card working in master mode. I am running Jaunty server 2.6.28-11 x86_64. I have compiled hostapd with nl80211 enabled. The interface is using ath9k. I have tried to compile compat-wireless with this patch. However IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_AP was undefined along with IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_VLAN. In addition the latest version of compat-wireless needs to be patched for kernels < 2.6.31 with this. However when using this patch IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is still undefined.
I have got to this message:
Code:
$ sudo hostapd /home/jophish/.hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /home/jophish/.hostapd.conf
Failed to set interface wlan0 to master mode.

I've recently purchased a TP-WNL951N PCI Card for wireless N stuff. I have a Netgear WNDR3700 for use with my AP and I've confirmed that within windows XP I can connect at 300mb/s.
Within Ubuntu though, it only goes up to 54mb/s. Is there something special I need to do to enable wireless N speeds?
Here's some info that I should probably put in:
Code:

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 my wireless connection has been extremely slow. The same happened with 10.10. Although that was quite different. Back then everything within my network moved slowly, but now it doesn't affect my web browser. It seems to have only slowed the application centre and update manager. I am still waiting for the flash plugin to download and install for testing ....., but I am torrenting Ubuntu 11.04 right now and have actually hit the limit of my bandwidth (1.1 MB/s) whereas the speed in the software centre and update manager was in the region of 45 kb/s.
I'm not sure if this is because I have installed extra drivers found here after I did some research.
Although my web surfing is fast and stable, I would like to get my updates and applications downloading properly. Does anyone know what I can do?
From my 2-hour googling spree I know you may want the results from the command "lspci"
Code:
root@Felicia:/home/silkworm# lspci

I'm running WiFi AP (hostapd/nl80211) and STA (Wicd) in my home net. More or less all does work fine at last. The only problem I have - STA reconnection works few times only (1-4 times), ending with unsuccessful authentification (and multiple AP probing in hostapd debug output before STA failing).Two contradictive facts take place:
1. Reloading hostapd on the AP side permits Wicd to reconnect, while STA rebooting(!) doesn't help.
2. Another STA - my son's Nokia mobile phone (don't know a model) - reconnects with this AP without problems (we have tried 10 times).
So, you see, first fact says something wrong with AP, while the second one says something wrong with STA. Or you can treat these facts in strictly opposite way Indeed WiFi under Linux is very fragile area yet. I have found plenty of close-to-be-similar reports as well as different resolving ways (but it is rare case).OK, few words about setup. Up to date Kubuntu Maverick testing with backports enabled on both sides. ASUS USB-N11 adapters are in use on both sides. It means RT2870 chip.

I try to set-up an Access point using ubuntu 11.04. I am using the minimal configuration file from [URL] together with a TP-Link TL-WN422G (Atheros chipset). I've installed the linux-backports-net-natty-generic drivers. But when trying to start hostapd I always get this output:
Code:

I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi on my x64 Dell laptop. I logged in, and tried updating to the latest version. When I type in my password, however, the password box disappears, but the window doesn't change.It's still responsive, but clicking buttons doesn't do anything, and I've tried waiting for a few minutes.
Edit: It hasn't been working for two days, but now it's suddenly working again, without my trying to do anything.

On my Debian 6.0 squeeze system, after reconfiguring GRUB and installing QEMU, X is sticking in 800x600 and not 1024x768. Yesterday I had no problems. Using a Rage Pro AGP 2X with 8 MB RAM (mach64 driver) on a i686 system. The kernel is the latest from squeeze's repo (2.6.32-5) and booted with the same settings as before despite the GRUB change to purge old 2.6 kernels.

I've been working on this for a while. I have done the whole "install backports" thing, and that got me to the point where I can see the wireless connections; however, when I try to connect, I get a "Bad Password" message (which I don't believe, in the sense that I've checked the password back and forth several times). I am using maverick on an HP Pavilion dv7-1120. The relevant section of the lshw command is:

I'm running 64-bit Karmic with the native 64-bit Flash plugin (not the 32-bit plugin with a wrapper).Before now, I had to pick between streaming music on Gnome or streaming music from Flash. In other words, if I was listening to music in Rhythmbox or Totem, I'd have to close all those sources before playing a flash video or else the sound wouldn't work. Likewise, if I was playing a flash video and wanted to listen to music in Rhythmbox or Totem, I'd have to close Firefox from the system monitor.
So I installed the PulseAudio Device Chooser, following all the instructions in this thread. Now I can't get any sound from Flash at all, but I can play as many Rhythmbox and Totem streams as I want at the same time. In the "Playback" tab of the PulseAudio Volume Control, Flash is never acknowledged as a playback stream.

I can connect to the internet and browse. I'm wired and using DHCP on a Windows network. Updating Ubuntu or downloading programs takes hours for 52MB of updates. Why? I read some articles that mention Network Manager needs to be enabled at the .conf file. Can I edit this using GUI or command line only?

Server: Fedora 14
Client: Fedora 14
LDAP server: 389-ds
I have set up the 389 server using the default configuration. Adding user and http/pam authentication works fine. The problem I have is the client authentication. On the client machine, using "authconfig-tui" to turn on LDAP authentication it turns on sssd and use 'sss' in etc/nsswitch.conf after 'files'. I couldn't get sss working. In the end, I disabled sssd and manually changed 'sss' to 'ldap' for all configuration files including:
modify /etc/nsswitch.conf
modify /etc/pam.d/password-auth, change all sss to ldap
modify /etc/pam.d/system-auth
change /etc/sysconfig/authconfig
FORCELEGACY=yes
After these, client authentication works. I can log in to the client machine using user/password set on the LDAP server. I thought this is done but everyday the LDAP service stop functioning once or twice. I can't log in to the client machine using LDAP username/password. After restart the dirsrv on ldap server, things back to normal. I can't find any reasons from /var/log/dirsrv/ldap-xxx error file and don't know how to debug the problem.

I am appealing to the minds far greater than mine.. I have been using this forum with resounding success without having to post for some time, and I am more than impressed with what you can resolve by simply trawling through the archives, on this occasion however, I'm stumped.
I have a desktop upstairs in my home running 10.10, I have a Ralink Wirless LAN dongle RTL8188CUS with a mini CD with all the drivers etc. Now, when I physically install the dongle Ubuntu does not firstly even acknowledge it's existence, so, I unpack the CD Lynx dir and there seems to be no way to install it? I can't see a code to run in terminal to install.. nothing?
