Description Michael S. Tsirkin 2008-09-01 13:33:47 UTC
Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25-rc4
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.25-rc5
Distribution: ubuntu gutsy
Hardware Environment: T60p
Software Environment: self-built kernel, .config attached
Problem Description:

Starting with 2.6.27-rc5, my T60p sometimes fails to associate
with an access point after suspend to ram/resume.

This does not seem to happen on 2.6.27-rc4.

Steps to reproduce:
suspend and resume several times.
At some point the card fails to associate with
the AP.

A very recent regression.

Which device driver is that machine using?

Do you use hwcrypto? Can you try the other way around?

No

just set hwcrypto=1, right?

Yes.

It looks like wpa_supplicant authentication timeouts 10 seconds after association. So the STA decides to disassociate itself. I'm not 100% sure it is wpa_supplicant authentication related. Could you configure the AP to open mode (and also change your wpa_supplicant.conf setting to reflect that) and retest?

The reporter has not responded for almost two months.  Closing.
