just another night with 802.11r. I tested this night a setup with 2 nanostations m2, 1 tp link 1043nd and to much mate. nanostations got hostapd(20101111) and the tp link is our client with wpa-supplicant(same version). As keymanagement I choose FT-PSK, just in case our radius attemptinga to steal me some time. the first connection feel good, got a ping throught the connection and a 'ft-over-ds' command from wpa_sup is working. but the roam command does not work. mhh. ok, lets try another run... disconnecting my client with wpa_cli and reconnect - toooot toooo ! a train hits me - I can not reconnect. WTF !

6405.665831: authentication: STA=00:23:cd:14:d8:e2 auth_alg=2 auth_transaction=1 status_code=0 wep=0
6405.665930:   New STA
...

seems to be ok, but this is strange

6405.668982: FT: Unknown pairwise alg 0x1000 - skip PTK configuration
...

anyway, keep looking

ok. authentication is working and accepted

is this missing association response our problem ? i dont know. maybe tomorrow night somebody is asking 'Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world with 802.11r".
