<div class="gmail_quote">Hi<div><br></div><div>I am using hostapd and wpa-supplicant ver 0.8.x for my ap and client running linux 2.6.31 version with mips architecture. There is some issue while trying to use WPA-PSK security method. With the hostapd running I give the command to run wpa_supplicant. However, it says 'ASSOCIATED' when run in debug mode. and after which it doesn't perform a 4-way handshake. it immediately disconnects from the AP and tries to scan and associate again. What could be the reason behind this. I've checked every possible detail and everything seem to be correct. Here is the wpa_supplicant.conf file</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>ap_scan=1</div><div>network={</div><div> ssid="wireless_vap_333"</div><div> scan_ssid=1</div><div> proto=WPA</div><div> key_mgmt=WPA-PSK</div><div> pairwise=CCMP</div><div>
psk="firmware123"</div><div>}</div></div><div><br></div><div>and the corresponding hostapd.conf file being </div><div><br></div><div><div>interface=ath0</div><div>bridge=br0</div><div>logger_syslog=-1</div>
<div>logger_syslog_level=2</div><div>logger_stdout=-1</div><div>logger_stdout_level=2</div><div>ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd</div><div>ctrl_interface_group=0</div><div>ssid=wireless_vap_333</div><div>dtim_period=2</div>

But I couldn't solve it. And the command i use to run the hostapd and wpa_supplicant are </div>
<div>hostapd -B /tmp/hostapd.conf</div><div>wpa_supplicant -c/tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf -iath0 -bbr0 -dd</div><div><br></div><div>and kindly find attached the log of wpa_supplicant when it is trying to associate. It's a little lengthy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Having a closer look revealed that the state changes from ASSOCIATING -> ASSOCIATED. However, after that ath0 interface gets disabled before performing a 4way handshake and this whole process repeats infinitely. Why this is happening? I don't think its due to some configuration setting. Or am I wrong in assuming so?! Kindly help me out. I'm struck at this stage and have been breaking my head over it for the past 2 days!</div>
