I've ported WPA supplicant v0.3.3 to VxWorks v5.5 on ARM little Endian.
I am associating to a Cisco AP1231 with WPA2 Wi-Fi Alliance special test
firmware (for WPA2/WMM certification).
I tried using WPA2-PSK and it always fails. I believe the problem to be
caused by PMKSA. To the best of my understanding, PMKSA and Pre-Shared
Key are mutually exclusive; the point of PMKIDs being to avoid the
potentially lengthy EAP negotiation (certificate exchange, etc.).
Earlier in the function, eapol_sm_get_key() is called, and no key is
obtained, PMKSA caching being aborted. wpa_eapol_send() is called and
the 1_of_4 function returns. For the PSK condition, this seems to be
invalid. I patched the problem on my system by changing
Line 1106: if (abort_cached) {
to be as follows:
if ((abort_cached) && (wpa_s->key_mgmt ==
WPA_KEY_MGMT_IEEE8021X)) {
This change prevents sending out the EAPOL-Start message, which the AP
will not answer, and allows sends message 2/4. WPA2-PSK completes
successfully this way
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
