Hi,
I have a WPA-EAP network setup (to a WRT54G with OpenRadius which
authenticates against an OpenLDAP server on my FreeBSD server), however quite
often dhclient fails to get a lease at first go.
My wpa_supplicant file looks like..
network={
ssid="dons"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
identity="username"
password="password"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
I have the following in rc.conf..
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
background_dhclient="YES"
If I kill dhclient and restart it I can get a lease just fine. I don't see the
problem on a WPA-TKIP network.
I think the problem is that the ath interface comes up but no packets can be
transferred because WPA stuff is still happening the initial requests get
lost.
I note that it takes Windows a long time to get a lease - it spends a while
saying "waiting for network to become ready".
