Sam et al-
I just upgraded my "router" box to -CURRENT so I could try out the new vap
code. The upgrade went fine and the single access point setup I had
before works fine on wlan0.
I'm trying to set up a second access point for an "insecure" network. I am
able to create and configure the wlan1 interface and clients can see the
SSID and associate to the network. However the access point is unable to
send traffic over the interface (the 103 network below):
stealth# ping 192.168.103.240
PING 192.168.103.240 (192.168.103.240): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Network is down
Interestingly, it can receive traffic just fine. DHCP, for instance:
stealth# tcpdump -i wlan1
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on wlan1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 68 bytes
10:35:32.557438 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP,
Request [|bootp]
10:35:36.558022 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP,
Request [|bootp]
etc. dhcpd receives and acts on the requests but is unable to send
replies:
Jul 22 10:11:13 stealth dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:1b:77:9d:ab:ba
(jnielsengl1830) via wlan1
Jul 22 10:11:13 stealth dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.103.240 to
00:1b:77:9d:ab:ba (jnielsengl1830) via wlan1
Jul 22 10:11:13 stealth dhcpd: send_packet: Network is down
The problem seems to follow the second hostap device configured (e.g.
wlan1). I swapped the networks and the insecure one worked propery and
the "old" network stopped working. I'm trying to determine if this is a
misconfiguration on my part, a software bug or a hardware limitation.
I've tested with ipfw turned off via sysctl and with and without hidessid
and bgscan on both interfaces. Details of my setup:
