Bug Reports

Hello,

I am running m0n0wall 1.3b16 on a WRAP system with a Compex WLM54G23 wireless adapter. I am using hostap in WPA2 AES mode on the wireless adapter.

For some reason hostap will hang (no longer responds to ping, drops wireless connections) until I turn wifi off of the offending system. m0n0wall will still be available over the LAN interface.

Steps to replicate: Bridge WLAN to LAN interface, connect to wireless connection, start Adium (using the open source libpurple library) and the WLAN interface will stop responding. I can replicate this problem under m0n0wall-embedded 1.3b15 and 1.3b16.

The problem does not occur once both interfaces have been un-bridged.


Thanks!

I can confirm my WRAP has not crashed since I have un-bridged the WLAN and LAN interface. Anybody else able to replicate the problem ?

The old way of bridging that m0n0wall releases currently use is deprecated in FreeBSD 6.x in favor of if_bridge. I'm working on converting m0n0wall to if_bridge and have a test image available that works for any scenario that is currently supported.

edit: this code has been committed and will be in 1.3b17.
