May 03 11:54:36 <afrinc> Hi, I got a problem with the new firmware of the fonera 2.0n (2.3.6.0). For the wireless part, I can't configure it in WPA. Every thing is ok with WEP.
May 03 11:55:53 <afrinc> If it's the right place to talk about this I can give you more details, and I expect have some help from you to diagnose the problem ;)
May 03 12:00:13 <blathijs> afrinc: This is the right place :-)
May 03 12:00:34 <blathijs> afrinc: You can't configure it, or it won't work if you configure it?
May 03 12:00:55 <afrinc> I can configure it, and it's work one time
May 03 12:01:33 <afrinc> for instance, I've to wireless based computer, my N900 (Maemo/Linux), which it detect the WPS, so, it's work with.
May 03 12:02:55 <afrinc> Then, if I configure my debian with wpa_gui (wpa_supplicant only, no network-manager), it's work one time to, without WPS because I don't know how to use it with succes.
May 03 12:03:37 <afrinc> When my laptop is connected, my phone disconnect. And I can't reconnect it. Even if I remove the settings to do the WPS again. Fail
May 03 12:04:49 <afrinc> Disconnecting/Reconnecting my laptop don't work also. My wpa_supplicant  fail to connect nearly the log section : "4 Way Handshake"
May 03 12:04:51 <blathijs> I'm not exactly sure how WPS works ( I even thought it was disabled in the latest firmware... )
May 03 12:05:28 <afrinc> Before the new firmware, I never saw WPS... My first time with 2.3.6…
May 03 12:05:37 <blathijs> Hmm, perhaps i'm mistaken then
May 03 12:06:04 <afrinc> I would like to disactivate it, but no place in the Fonera's interface
May 03 12:06:06 <blathijs> afrinc: Did you try restarting the Fonera?
May 03 12:06:11 <afrinc> Yes…
May 03 12:06:32 <afrinc> I put it in factory default too…
May 03 12:06:48 <blathijs> What does that do? Allow you to connect once again?
May 03 12:06:58 <afrinc> yes, one time per machine…
May 03 12:08:12 <afrinc> by WPS with my phone (it doesn't want to connect in other way), with my laptop it fail too (even with my ubuntu and nm-applet)
May 03 12:09:42 <blathijs> I would focus on debugging this with a single machine first, preferably not the phone
May 03 12:10:19 <blathijs> The desktop machine, with plain wpa_supplicant is probably best for that
May 03 12:10:34 <afrinc> I'm not currently on my Fon network… but I can manage my routeur…
May 03 12:10:35 <blathijs> afrinc: Could you pastebin the relevant section of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf somewhere (remove your psk for privacy)
May 03 12:11:01 <afrinc> well, I think I've to recontact you later, in my network…
May 03 12:11:15 <blathijs> That's fine
May 03 12:11:29 <afrinc> but on the fonera, where are the log ?
May 03 12:12:01 <blathijs> You can login with SSH and execute 'logread'. But I just checked, and it doesn't really say anything about wireless connections I thinkg
May 03 12:13:34 <afrinc> only about the chillispot…
May 03 12:15:59 <blathijs> I can't find what manages the wireless connection either, I expected something like hostapd to be running, but it seems there isn't
May 03 12:23:45 <blathijs> Ah, apparently the wireless driver does that by itself
May 03 12:24:13 <blathijs> /lib/wifi/rt3052.sh calls iwpriv to set those settings
May 03 12:26:09 <blathijs> I can't find how to get that driver to be verbose, though
May 03 12:29:25 <blathijs> I can't get iwpriv to tell me the current values either...
May 03 12:31:48 <afrinc> iwpriv confirm me about WPS (it's active, not show with WEP encryption, but stil present)
May 03 12:32:55 <blathijs> How did you get iwpriv to show something useful?
May 03 12:33:05 <afrinc> iwpriv ra0 stat
May 03 12:33:13 <blathijs> Ah, indeed
May 03 12:33:46 <blathijs> Though it seems that's independent of the normal PSK auth?
May 03 12:36:17 <afrinc> I don't know, the only thing I can be sure : WPA -> my phone (sorry, the only one who can use the WPS mode) discover it, WEP -> no WPS mention anymore.
May 03 12:37:16 <blathijs> I think wpa_supplication can discover the WPS mode as well (when I run wpa_cli and do "scan_results", IIRC it mentions WPS as well)
May 03 12:37:41 <blathijs> Not sure if it can also use it, perhaps wpa_gui (never used that one) can't
May 03 12:38:55 <afrinc> wpa_gui probably can configure it also, it have a section about it on the interface, but it don't work. So I prefere use the "normal" way with PSK.
May 03 12:40:55 <blathijs> Ah, right. But that should work as well.
May 03 12:41:31 <afrinc> It doesn't, and I can't test it on other wireless-WPS routeur…
May 03 12:41:49 <blathijs> I mean, the PSK should work as well :-)
May 03 12:41:52 <blathijs> I have a similar setup as yours, using a 2.0n with Debian and wpa_supplicant (without network-manager) just with the PSK
May 03 12:42:08 <blathijs> So it should be possible :-)
May 03 12:42:11 <afrinc> And it's working as epsected.
May 03 12:42:22 <afrinc> espected*
May 03 12:43:55 <afrinc> So, with the PSK only, no problem. But in my yesterday test. First I've connected my laptop with the PSK, then, i connect my fon with WPS. The result was the disconection of my laptop, with the "4-way handshake" error.
May 03 12:44:20 <afrinc> For the test, i disconected my phone, and i was not able to connect any device again…
May 03 12:45:39 <blathijs> Ah, so it works properly _until_ you connect your phone?
May 03 12:45:52 <blathijs> I thought it always worked only once
May 03 12:46:12 <afrinc> ok, more usefull test tomorow…
May 03 12:47:12 <afrinc> Trying only with my laptop in WPA, connection, reconnection, reboot, rereconnection… (to see). And maybe, after, if no problems anymore, i will connect my phone with the wps method…
May 03 13:04:02 <blathijs> afrinc: Indeed, I would try to separate those as much as possible
May 03 13:04:36 <blathijs> I'm not exactly sure how WPS works on these devices, perhaps WPS messes up the original PSK or something
May 03 14:53:09 <quiquekam> HI all
May 03 14:53:59 <quiquekam> someone speaks spanish??
May 03 14:59:31 <iurgi> yes
May 03 14:59:39 <iurgi> but ideally you should try to speak in English
May 03 14:59:50 <iurgi> this is an international help chat room
May 03 15:06:04 <quiquekam> ok, I try to configure a Huawei K3675 3G key on the Fonera 2.0n
May 03 15:06:25 <quiquekam> but the router doesn't reconigze it
May 03 15:06:50 <iurgi> hmmm
May 03 15:07:07 <iurgi> 3765?
May 03 15:07:15 <iurgi> K3765?
May 03 15:07:16 <quiquekam> yes, sorry
May 03 15:07:18 <iurgi> ok
May 03 15:07:22 <iurgi> should be supported
May 03 15:07:32 <iurgi> haven't tried it myself but it's in the list of supported devices
May 03 15:07:36 <iurgi> what is the problem?
May 03 15:08:18 <quiquekam> in the control panel, 3G tab show a cross, and a message tell "there is no device connected"
May 03 15:08:47 <iurgi> what firmware version do you have?
May 03 15:08:49 <iurgi> on the fonera?
May 03 15:08:51 <quiquekam> 3.6.0
May 03 15:08:57 <iurgi> weird
May 03 15:09:21 <iurgi> did you connect it directly to the fonera or using a usb hub?
May 03 15:09:29 <quiquekam> this modem has the feature of storage, maybe the fonera try to watch like as usb device
May 03 15:09:38 <quiquekam> is connected directly
May 03 15:10:10 <iurgi> hmmm
May 03 15:10:28 <iurgi> I don't know, to be honest
May 03 15:10:35 <iurgi> I suggest you write a mail to the mailing list
May 03 15:10:38 <iurgi> or post in the forums
May 03 15:10:48 <iurgi> do you know how to get debug logs etc?
May 03 15:10:52 <quiquekam> ok, thanks anwy
May 03 15:11:01 <quiquekam> no, id don't
May 03 15:11:07 <quiquekam> I don't
May 03 15:11:29 <iurgi> ok, then try to ask if someone has the same device and made it work
May 03 15:11:34 <iurgi> it's the best way to start with
May 03 15:11:44 <iurgi> if still no one can help you, come back here
May 03 15:12:21 <quiquekam> thanks
