I'm running a fairly recent -CURRENT on my laptop with a run(4)-based USB wireless adapter.?? I can connect to several wireless access points, except for the ones at work.?? One's a Netgear Nighthawk X4.?? I see errors related to WPA negotiation: wpa_cli: > interface wlan1 Connected to interface 'wlan1. <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS <3>WPS-AP-AVAILABLE <3>CTRL-EVENT-NETWORK-NOT-FOUND > select_network 5 OK <3>CTRL-EVENT-SSID-REENABLED id=5 ssid="EC-LAB-24" <3>Trying to associate with a0:63:91:89:28:c4 (SSID='EC-LAB-24' freq=2422 MHz) <3>Authentication with a0:63:91:89:28:c4 timed out. <3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=a0:63:91:89:28:c4 reason=3 locally_generated=1 <3>CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=5 ssid="EC-LAB-24" auth_failures=1 duration=?? 10 reason=CONN_FAILED <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS <3>WPS-AP-AVAILABLE > quit Interestingly, a 2nd run(4) interface on a Thunderbird dock connects just fine.?? The one that doesn't connect is whichever one is plugged into a USB port on the laptop. Can someone suggest some basic wireless connectivity debugging tips??? I'd like to add them to the FreeBSD wireless wiki - or are there already some tips up there? Thanks, Anthony Jenkins
