Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Distribution: Debian unstable Hardware Environment: Thinkpad R52 Software Environment: Problem Description: Normally my notebook can connect just fine to the AP using WPA with wpa_supplicant. However, to ease switching between LAN and wireless, I'd like to use a bridge and add/remove the network device I'm using/not using. This worked just fine with WEP, but with WPA wpa_supplicant would lose the connection after adding the wifi device to the bridge (and can't establish the connection for a wifi device already on the bridge). Steps to reproduce: Make sure WPA works. Add wifi device to bridge and try again.

Sorry, this was a typo.
Does the MAC address of the bridge match the MAC address of the wireless device?

Yes, this is reproducable with wlan0 as the only device in the bridge, so the MAC addresses are the same. (I just checked to be safe) This is on 2.6.19 using the ipw2200 driver, steps to reproduce: ifup wlan0 # Up the device wlan0 and start wpa_supplicant on it # wlan0 is now associated, wpa_supplicant is running on device wlan0 brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 wlan0 # wait until reassociation is done or force one with 'disconnect' in wpa_cli # reassociation fails wpa_cli messages: > disconnect OK > <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys <2>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys [Now I remove wlan0 from the bridge with "brctl delif br0 wlan0"] <2>Trying to associate with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e (SSID='yamamaya' freq=0 MHz) <2>Associated with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e <2>WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:12:17:15:fe:9e [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP] <2>CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:12:17:15:fe:9e completed (reauth) [id=1 id_str=] HTH,
Any updates on this problem? Thanks.
Please reopen this bug if it's still present with kernel 2.6.22.
