[Open1x-xsupplicant] ipw2100 and LEAP

[Andrew B. <bar...@os...>]

There has been some discussion on the list recently about issues with
the LEAP keying code. I went back to school here recently, and so I've
had a chance to try the code on the wireless network on campus. I have
an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection in my notebook, and it is
driven by the ipw2100 driver version 0.55. My first few tries with
xsupplicant 1.0.1 were successful, but then I started running into
trouble. One of two things happens: 1) I see "connection established,
authenticating..." over and over again as my network adapter repeatedly
disassociates and reassociates with the AP. Or, I see that message once
and xsupplicant crashes; there is no "segmentation fault" or similar
message, but it leaves behind it's PID file (/var/run/xsupplicant).
Don't worry if my descriptions are too vague, I have a logfile from
running 'xsupplicant -i eth1 -f -d6', I just didn't want to post it to
the list because it probably has my password in it.

I am not out of ideas yet, I have other wireless hardware to try, I am
going to try ndiswrapper, and I have also built a patched version of
xsupplicant that includes the LEAP reauth fix described by Benjamin Reed
yesterday. My progress in trying these ideas is slow because I don't
live on campus and I'm only up there until noonish, and I have class
almost the entire time. If someone knows what my issue is or would like
to see my log, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

P.S. I'll probably be changing my password after this, so there's no
worries there.
