Re: Segment fault when using wireless (adhoc mode)



Hi Dan,
Thanks for your reply. I'll contact the vendor of the wireless card to see whether they could offer some help.

Interesting.  Three observations:

1) NM has that bug I talked about where it can schedule the next stage
twice.  That I'll have to fix.

2) "Could not read SSID from driver."
    Seems wrong; whenever the driver is IFF_UP it should be returning
valid values (which of course can be a blank SSID to indicate "no SSID
has been set") instead of an error; the supplicant will only print this
out when the driver returned an error when asking for the SSID.

3) "Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00"
       *Seriously* wrong.  Looks like you're using a custom supplicant driver
which is pretty broken.  It's sending EVENT_ASSOC with an all-zero BSSID
when it should probably be sending EVENT_DISASSOC.  EVENT_ASSOC should
*never* have an all-zero BSSID.  That would imply you've associated with
nothing.  All-zero BSSIDs coming from drivers via the WEXT SIOGIWAP
event always mean "disassociated".
