Bug#586121: Cannot connect to WPA-PSK wifi network with vt6656 driver
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
Version: 2.6.32-15
Hello. With 2.6.32 and built-in vt6656 wifi driver I cannot connect to WPA-PSK network. With 2.6.27 and manually built driver (source was taken from VIA site, VT6656_Linux_src_v1.19_12_x86.zip) I could do that.
It seems that it always tries to use CCMP instead of TKIP and fails to connect to the network. The log file is attached. Did you change the WPA functionality in vt6656?
$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Jun 11 18:26:04 EEST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
$ lsmod | grep vt6656
vt6656_stage 163181 0
usbcore 98270 5 vt6656_stage,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
P.S. This driver by default cannot be compiled, because of missing firmware.c and special patch in debian/patches/.../files-1. I restored firmware.c and was able to successfully build kernel and use this driver with WEP networks. Kernel patch I used to build Debian kernel is also attached.
