WZR-HP-AG300H wlan1 (5GHz radio1): deauthenticating from by local choice (reason=3)

[anonymous]

Router Model: Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H
Firmware Version: OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment r31858/LuCI Trunk (trunk+svn8683)
Kernel Version: 3.3.7

The problem seems to be only with the wlan1 5GHz radio1. The 5GHz radio1 worked a couple of release back. the bug seemed to have been introduced in the last 2 or 3 builds.

The 2GHz wlan0 works as expected.

Below is a snippet from the kernel log. One thing I've noticed is that is off is the incomplete MAC in the log's beginning.

Looks like a configuration error to me. The relevant message is:

wlan1: a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5 denied association (code=18)

code=18 is WLAN_REASON_INVALID_GROUP_CIPHER, so there's a mismatch in crypto algorithms.
Try setting the AP and client to WPA2, AES/CCMP only.

I am setting up radio1 as client(sta) mode to a linksys e3000 dual band. Firstly my current setup worked previously with cipher set to auto in open wrt. Secondly the e3000 doesn't have setting to change cipher mode. This sort of indicates that something changed with openwrt that broke the crypto settings.

The wifi indicates wireless is disabled or not associated no matter if I try to setup the radio for client or AP mode. According to the log it indicates that authentication was successful, but fails association so shouldn't cipher fail during authentication not just after.

The problem looks like it may have something to do with the length of the wpa2 passsphrase in the current release. The passphrase that I was using "thefoxranaroundtheclockhickorydickrydoc" which after I changed to a shorter passphrase the errors stopped.

please try latest trunk to see if the issue is still there with the long passphrase

long pass phrase is no longer a problem. thanks
