Subject: RE: MIC failure question

Hi,

Thanks for quick answer. One more question. I do not understand how blockin=
g all connections should be done.
In wpa_supplicant_pick_network(), if there's no valid AP in the list, it st=
ill tries to clear blacklisted APs and try to associate anyway.

wpa_supplicant: wlan0: No APs found - clear blacklist and try again
wpa_supplicant: Removed BSSID 00:1e:be:8e:3d:40 from blacklist (clear)


Other thing is that when I hit the MIC failure twice within 60s and TKIP co=
untermeasures starts + wpa_supplicant_deauthenticate called

I get 'wpa_supplicant: Added BSSID 00:00:00:00:00:00 into blacklist'
Is this correct behaviour or MAC is being overwritten (errased) to quickly?

\Bartosz

No one seems to have been interested enough in optimizing this to allow oth=
er APs to be used and blocking all connections is simpler. It is not like T=
KIP countermeasures are supposed to be showing up frequently, so it does no=
t look like there is much benefit from using time on making this any more c=
omplex. And if this were to be triggered more frequently, time would likely=
 be better spent on trying to fix whatever is causing the Michael MIC failu=
res anyway.
