Running Maemo 5 on an N900.

This happens for me as well, whenever the connection is switched from one
router to another.

After being connected to one WPA2+AES router, moving to a different location
serviced by a second router (with a different SSID and key, but stll WPA2+AES)
caused the above described network error which disappeared on reboot.

Once connected to the second router, moving back to the area serviced by the
first caused the network error to resurface (which, again, disappeared after
reboot).

Time spent disconnected from one router before connecting to the other was
approximately one hour (travel time).

If this bug does force all users to reboot before connecting to a different
router, I would think this should be bumped to a higher priority/severity than
"low" and "normal"...

Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2009-11-30 18:43:32 UTC

Thanks, also for the confirmation!

David, is this also WPA2+AES for you?

I think so
My router is runnning wrt and has WPA1+2 and RC4/AES available

Comment 4 Andre Klapper 2009-12-02 14:36:06 UTC

Thanks!
Can you alsp provide a syslog?
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/devtools/maemo5/syslog

I have been having the same problem randomly, mostly during daily cwifi
connect/disconnect operations. After disconnecting from a wifi connection
occasionally the N900 won't be able to pick up any existing wifi signal. It
looks like the wifi module/service just hangs, until the device gets rebooted.

I think this bug should be considered as high priority as this issue will cause
a fully charged battery to drain in approx. 4.5 hrs if you don't realize right
away that the wifi module is not responding. And there's no obvious way to know
that,  unless you are sure that there is a wifi signal nearby and you realize
that your N900 is not picking it up.

I have been able to recover wifi functionality after it hangs by opening an
Xterm windows, gaining root access with rootsh, and typing:
ifconfig wlan0 down 
ifconfig wlan0 up

maybe ifconfig wlan0 up is enough, I'll have to try next time wifi hangs.

I would like to stress the fact that in my case the wifi hanging drains the
battery in a few hours, so this issue is not just about being able to establish
a wifi connection.

I also confirm this bug.

I am having the same. Two APs in the house with the same SSID and encryption
settings (WPA-PSK, same key): one WRT54G and one first-generation Fonera.

Last association before the problem was with the Fonera, which runs
OpenWrt/madwifi/hostapd.

No error messages in dmesg nor syslog. Only the ones already posted here.

What doesn't help:
- rebooted both APs just in case there's a state left somewhere,
- ifconfig wlan0 down/up,
- rmmod/modprobe wl12xx cycle(!)

What does help:
- rebooting the phone

Suggestions for debugging welcome; this is reproducible, in the sense that as
the original posting said, happens every time I get off the bed :)

Comment 9 Andre Klapper 2009-12-28 13:48:28 UTC

This has been fixed in package
osso-wlan 3.0.14+0m5
which is part of the internal build version
2009.52-3 
(Note: 2009 is the year, and the number after is the week.)

A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal
build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public
update.)
Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as
VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time.


To answer popular followup questions:
 * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance.
 * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions.
   A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at
http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/

Thanks for the resolve; please could the new source be released to here :
 http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/o/osso-wlan/
so affected users can build their own package prior to the official image being
released.

Comment 11 Andre Klapper 2009-12-28 14:31:20 UTC

*** Bug 7541 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 13 Alan Bruce 2010-01-02 02:36:12 UTC

Can confirm that this isn't fixed in PR1.1 (2.2009.51-1).

I have the same problem as well... Connect an old router to a newer modem no
problem.. but newer modem to a older problem... i think is the security
settings for the newer one.

Was the fix included in some public update? It is a problem for me having
2.2009.51-1

Comment 16 Andre Klapper 2010-01-14 18:30:52 UTC

Please read bug reports before commenting on them.
As written in comment 9, this is fixed in 2009.52-3. Update is 2009.51-1, hence
older and fix not included.

Sorry, didn't notice the version in the comment #9. May there should be
separate statuses - Fixed in internal version, Fixed in public version?
Otherwise there is a lot of confusion seeing it with status fixed.

Comment 18 Andre Klapper 2010-01-14 19:09:13 UTC

(Totally agree - to be reconsidered after upgrading Bugzilla to version 3.4
next month.)

Errrr.. i am still facing the same problem even with the new software
updated...

have connected to another router
disconnected the router
reach home, connect to my router it doesnt work at all the wifi icon keeps
blinking.
restart phone can connect again...

Comment 20 Andre Klapper 2010-01-18 18:12:02 UTC

First Knight: Please read comment 9 and comment 16 before posting comments that
just repeat the same question again and again and make bug reports unreadable.
Thanks in advance.

The ifconfig down/up workaround isn't working for me either. Since the root
issue has been solved in the internal release, perhaps that coder knows of a
workaround that we could use until the fix has been released (i.e. a way of
getting the network up again without rebooting)?

killall -9 eapd worked for me.

(In reply to comment #22)
> killall -9 eapd worked for me.

Thanks, this also worked for me. It's a workaround until next Nokia firmware
release. Until now I've had to reboot 2 or 3 times a day to "fix" the wifi.

This does not work for me?
There is no processes eapd to kill?

Also I must say Im VERY surprised NOKIA could miss a bug like this!
What would happen to their sales if the news came out that nokia N900 can not
change from a wireless network to another??

If the Nokia board of directors new about this I suspect some managers would
get their heads chopped off.

That said I love this phone! I has a gigantic potential!!

Comment 25 Alan Bruce 2010-02-10 00:49:59 UTC

This is NOT fixed in 2.2009.51-1.

killall eapd -9 worked for me too.

Comment 26 Andre Klapper 2010-02-10 16:55:31 UTC

Re Comment 24:
Yes, of course it is not fixed, as written in comment 9 and comment 16...
Please read a bug report before commenting on it. Thanks a lot!

Comment 27 Andre Klapper 2010-02-16 14:06:26 UTC

The problem reported here should be fixed in the update released today for
public: The Maemo5 update version 3.2010.02-8 (also called "PR1.1.1"
sometimes).
Please leave a comment if the problem is not fixed for you in this update
version.

Just happened again, first day (well, night) after upgrading to PR1.1.1.
(I have no rights to reopen the bug, could someone with the  proper permissions
do it for me? Thanks.)

Comment 29 Andre Klapper 2010-02-17 19:39:27 UTC

Can some others that were affected by this issue also comment whether it works
for them now, or not? Faidon, wondering if you "just" run into a similar issue
than this report...

I had the same bug, although it usually happened while the device was in use.
The 3.2010.02-8 release seems to fix it partially - device reconnects
automatically and there is no need to reboot.

Wifi connection is still unreliable. Longer Skype calls (maybe 30+ minutes)
seem to trigger this for me and the disruption is enough to disconnect the
call.

I'm using a wrt54gl with openwrt configured for wpa2/aes. I have installed
sysklogd for logging and can provide more details as soon as I test this again.

I see occasional disconnects too, which makes all account try to reconnect, and
facebookchat redisplay all recent messages.

dmesg shows tons of:
[43994.956298] wlan0: driver reports beacon loss from AP cf1bb52c - sending
probe request

I can confirm that this bug is fixed by the PR1.1.1 firmware update
3.2010.02-8. 
What a relief! No more 3-10 reboots a day just to reconnect to WiFi.

So far it has worked for me.

IMHO this bug 6416 is about not being able to reconnect without reboot, it is
not about WiFi connection reliability.
(By the way, I have never had longer Skype calls without interruption on any
kind of computer than 30 minutes... sometimes it interrupts after some mins or
secs. That is a problem of the Skype protocol, I think.)

(In reply to comment #34)
> IMHO this bug 6416 is about not being able to reconnect without reboot, it is

Agreed. This bug is fixed for me too, the remaining problem seems like bug
8014.

I have the Problem just now using the 3.2010.02-8 Release

The process wlancond was using the CPU at 80% (everything that was left over).

Maybe theres a Race Condition between WLAN and GPRS? The place the Problem
startes has no reception at all.

But it is way better than before.

It's 100% reproducible here on pr1.1.1. I'm consistently getting "Network
error, try again?" after losing wifi and trying to reconnect manually.

killall -9 eapd from a shell fixes the problem.

I'm using the 3.2010.02-8 release and experiencing this problem with my N900.

My ap:
http://forum.wippies.com/wiki/Wippies_WiFiBox/Fin
WPA2 probably TKIP but not sure.

- killall -9 eapd doesn't fix this
- Reboot fixes problem always
- BUT it also fixes itself randomly?
--> After 5-10 failed attempts to connect it might connect suddenly or
sometimes I have switched to my open connection and switched back to WPA2
channel to to try again and it sometimes connects. Also if i leave it just in
standby it sometimes connects itself after some unspecified time.
- When I got "Network Connection Error" dmesg shows just that wlan0 probes AP
and gets timed out

If you need more information please ask and guide me :)

Who says this is fix? or we are using a different n900 hardware? two days ago I
got my n900. I don't have any data plan yet and wifi ruined everything. going
from one wifi to another is not working... It was so shame when I showed my
n900 to my friend (iphone user) and the first thing he did was to try connect
his home network and nothing worked. It kept spinning and "selected network".
sudo gainroot stucked. touching a file causing "segmentation fault". The only
thing I can do in this situation is what windows teaches us. RESTART the phone.

and I'm using  Maemo-5-3.2010.02-8.002.

What more now????? It's annoying seeing this bug as "RESOLVED FIXED".

Totally offtopic for this report and not technically interesting. Please go to
the forum at talk.maemo.org as Bugzilla is NOT a forum. Thank you.
Your comment also misses ANY useful information about hardware, wifi etc.

Please read https://bugs.maemo.org/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html before
commenting again. Thanks a lot!

Software Version: 3.2010.02-8.002

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. I have a linksys WRT54G2 router with "Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN" setup in
home and in office I have a open wifi connection with no security. (and several
others lock and unlock.)
2. If my phone is connected to my home wifi and without disconnecting wifi, If
I go office, It refuses to accept any other wireless network.
3. If I click "Internet Connection", It shows a screen of "Select Connection"
and it keep searching and finally says "No connection" or sometime hildon
application not responding.
4. Meanwhile wlancond is taking 100% of the CPU. 
5. Restarting the machine solves the problem always. I'm unable to find any
other way to solve this issue. 

NOTE: I tried with other open wifi and the problem seems to be appear when we
move from one connected wifi to another wifi which was configured previously.

Ammendment: Today I had this bug appear again for the first time since
installing 3.2010.02-8 - just like previously, the wifi could no longer connect
to any AP (I waited and retried many times during several hours), and the
command "killall -9 eapd" brought it back to functioning immediately. There
were no interesting new messages in dmesg that I could see.

If you are able to reproduce this, you should enable the syslogd
(http://maemo.org/development/tools/doc/diablo/syslog/) and then the wlancond
debugging with

gconftool-2 --set --type int
'/system/osso/connectivity/IAP/wlancond_debug_level' '2'
killall wlancond

And after this if you are able to reproduce this send the /var/log/syslog file
from the device here.

Comment 44 Andre Klapper 2010-06-07 11:07:05 UTC

Daniel, Henri, Masood, Paul, Faidon:
Please provide a log as described in comment 43 if this is still a problem in
10.2010.19-1 for you.

The Issue I was experiencing was totally related to hardware and I got a
replacement phone after convincing the Nokia tech lead by sending my phone
twice.

so no more such messages and I'm happy with my n900 unit.

My Phone is changing between UMTS and WLAN up to 10 times a day and I could not
observe the problem in 10.2010.19-1.

Works perfectly

Hi

Sorry to revive an old bug however I am experiencing a similar bug to Masood
Mehmood and tried creating the log file you asked for however was unable to
find a syslog file in /var/log/.

I cannot connect to any WIFI at all so am going to reflash and if that still
fails take it in for hardware repair. Before this I was wondering if there is
anything I could try to see if it is hardware or software related to save me
the time of reflashing and testing.

Thanks
