Hi,
I have a WPA-EAP network setup (to a WRT54G with OpenRadius which=20
authenticates against an OpenLDAP server on my FreeBSD server), however qui=
te=20
often dhclient fails to get a lease at first go.
My wpa_supplicant file looks like..
network=3D{
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 ssid=3D"dons"
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 scan_ssid=3D1
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 key_mgmt=3DWPA-EAP
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 identity=3D"username"
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 password=3D"password"
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 phase2=3D"auth=3DPAP"
}
I have the following in rc.conf..
ifconfig_ath0=3D"WPA DHCP"
background_dhclient=3D"YES"
If I kill dhclient and restart it I can get a lease just fine. I don't see =
the=20
problem on a WPA-TKIP network.
I think the problem is that the ath interface comes up but no packets can b=
e=20
transferred because WPA stuff is still happening the initial requests get=20
lost.
I note that it takes Windows a long time to get a lease - it spends a while=
=20
saying "waiting for network to become ready".
