WLAN Driver if_iwm (Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160) cannot connect to AP. The driver loads correctly, I can create a wlan0 interface but when I want to connect to a WPA2 secured AP the connection fails with the error message: kernel: iwm0: <Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160> mem 0xf7c00000-0xf7c01fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci1 kernel: iwm0: revision: 0x160, firmware 25.228 (API ver. 9) kernel: wlan0: Ethernet address: 34:e6:ad:50:55:87 wpa_supplicant[1085]: Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant[1086]: wlan0: Trying to associate with 00:15:0c:4e:9f:52 (SSID='NET.HAYAT_WLAN_01' freq=2442 MHz) kernel: iwm0: iwm_update_edca: called [...] kernel: iwm0: fatal firmware error kernel: iwm0: iwm_auth: binding cmd kernel: iwm0: iwm_newstate: could not move to auth state: 35 wpa_supplicant[1317]: wlan0: Authentication with 00:15:0c:4e:9f:52 timed out. wpa_supplicant[1317]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:15:0c:4e:9f:52 reason=3 locally_generated=1 wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="NET.HAYAT_WLAN_01" auth_failures=1 duration=10 reason=CONN_FAILED kernel: iwm0: could not initiate scan HW: Zotac ZBox RI323 with Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 SW: FreeBDS 11-CURRENT at r290151 WLan Interface (after kldload if_iwm und wpa_supplicant start wlan0): wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 34:e6:ad:50:55:87 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "" channel 7 (2442 MHz 11g) country US authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpower 0 bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme roaming MANUAL groups: wlan
Hello Stefan, I jsut got an intel 7260.hmwwb.r today and I got the same problem. On my AP setup I had my ssid hidden. When I made it public I managed to associate with wpa_supplicant(but it shows 11g, havent tried speedtests yes) I guess it is a probe problem and it cannot verify the hidden SSID even if you add the line scan_ssid=1 on wpa_supplicant.conf Hope than helps Fotis P.S. dmesg and ifconfing wlan0: # dmesg|grep 7260 iwm0: <Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260> mem 0xf7c00000-0xf7c01fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci2 # ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 7c:5c:f8:2f:15:8e inet 192.168.1.62 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11g status: associated ssid TEST channel 6 (2437 MHz 11g) bssid <HIDDEN> country US authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 0 bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS wme roaming MANUAL groups: wlan
Please have a look at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6967 which has some updates to iwm and new firmware included.
Fixed in r305470.
