[Fwd: airo with WPA support merge]

To: [email protected]

Hi,

I added wpa support to airo driver some years ago, but I maintain the support as a OutOfTreeDrivers [1]. I use it everyday in wpa mode.

It can't be merged in main because the wpa support is selected by a module option. I did this because supporting wpa and other mode together may need a large rewrite of the driver (when I did first experimentation, I got firmware hang if I mix wpa command that use a new firmware API and wep command that use old firmware API).

But they have been some work to make it ok for main Linux tree [2], but it failed because of some issues [3].

I don't have time nor interest to continue the work made in [2]. May be somebody is interested.

One problem I have is that after setting the TKIP key, I always get a sequence of 3 bad MICs, and then the MAC sends a status of 0x8117 which causes the driver to send a disconnection event to userspace, which makes wpa_supplicant fail the connection. If I comment out the 'goto badrx;' in the interrupt handler where the WPA mic is checked, everything works great and I can complete the 4-way handshake. It needs more investigation, but do you have any thoughts on what might be going on here?
