Hi,

I bisected this down to


commit 180cdf45a415969b851aab530e9b23606032941a
Author: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 18 23:04:36 2011 +0300

    wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds
    
    Some dualband cards can use more than five seconds to run through
    a full scan, so increase the timeout to avoid hitting the missing
    scan completed event workaround.



Here's the log for completeness:

Any idea what the _real_ issue here could be? Surely increasing timeout
should not cause regressions?

I recompiled the debian package and reverted this change, now the
package works for me so I am confident that this change indeed has
something to do with the regression.

This looks like some kind of issue with the driver taking way too long
to scan or maybe more likely, inconvenient timing with operations and
missing indicate of scan completions.. I would assume that this driver
should really be used with ap_scan=2 mode (i.e., driver-based BSS
selection) rather than ap_scan=1 to avoid this type of issues.

Do the log files that I linked from the bug report help here at all? It
does show "Scan timeout" in both cases:

I tried

sudo wpa_cli -p /var/run/wpa_supplicant -i wlan ap_scan 2

but dhclient still can't get an IP:

Well, they just confirmed that the driver does not seem to indicate when
scan results are available. As such, the timeout within wpa_supplicant
is in full control of the interval between the scan request and
connection request going to the driver.

That's not enough for ap_scan 2 mode. You will need to specify the
security policy in full, i.e., set key_mgmt, pairwise, group, and proto
parameters to match with the network you are using. These seemed to be
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK, pairwise=CCMP, group=TKIP, proto=RSN based on the
debug logs with ap_scan 1. This does not match with the wpa_supplicant
defaults:

At least the GTK (group) parameter is different, so the driver may
refuse to connect because of this. Setting the group parameter to TKIP
should address that.

Ok. How should it indicate this? The source code at
