Bug#651199: iwlwifi: Connection lost on "WPA: Group rekeying"
Hi!
I've now tested without NM and with the latest kernel from experimental.
As far as I can see in wpa_supplicant with full debug everything looks
normal during the group rekeying. But I lose the connection.
It works fine on the kernels in squeeze and squeeze-backports.
I cant find any relevant log messages from the driver.
To reproduce connect to WPA-TKIP and idle on the connection. At group
rekeying there is a good chance you will lose the connection. (You're
still connected but cant send any data trough).
Im testing with while sleep 10; do ping -c1 google.com > /dev/null ||
echo "failed `date`";done
BR,
Andreas
