Enabling 802.1x authentication makes WLAN stop working
-
I am no use for 802.1x authentication from WiFi, but this pull request will silence that silly warning message
Warning: mkdir(): File exists in /etc/inc/system.inc on line 878https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/912
Does not help your actual problem though :-\ -
Well it would be good to share you configuration.
Also having filesystem full message is not a good thing and you should consider to solve those.
802.1X is not doing much apart contacting a radius server so you should check how you are configuring it.

@ermal:
Well it would be good to share you configuration.
I can only guess which configuration details are important. That's why I give the 802.1x relevant parts only:
WPA Mode: Checked
WPA Key Management Mode: Extensible Authentication Protocol
Authentication: Open System Authentication
WPA Pairwise: AES (recommended)
Key Rotation: 60
Master Key Regeneration: 3600
Enable IEEE802.1X Authentication: Checked
802.1X Authentication Server IP Address: <my_radius_server_ip>802.1X Authentication Server Shared Secret: <my_shared_secret>@ermal:Also having filesystem full message is not a good thing and you should consider to solve those.
Well, just to make things clear: I am running a NanoBSD version pfSense. The filesystem full message disappears as soon as I have disabled 802.1x authentication.

802.1X is not doing much apart contacting a radius server so you should check how you are configuring it.
I generally aggree with you. But I am just using the same configuration that is working fine now for two years with pfSense 2.0.1, 2.0.2 and 2.0.3.
My WLAN card is cloned, e.g. interface "WLAN" is "ath0" and "WLAN2" is "ath0_wlan1". "WLAN" should use 802.1x authentication while "WLAN2" authenticates against a captive portal.
Please let me know, if you need further information.
Regards,
PeterEDIT: Just a shot in the dark: My RADIUS server is addressed by an IPv4 address. As enabling 8021.x authentication and RDD errors are somehow correlated: Might this be a source of an error? Might pfSense expect an IPv6 address instead in the field "802.1X Authentication Server IP Address:"?</my_shared_secret></my_radius_server_ip>

Does not help your actual problem though :-\But it's good to know that 2.1.1 has one more solved issue :)

What would help in this case is the system log and a ls -lh of the full filesystem.
To know what is making it full.
Also ls /var/etc or ls /tmp and post the config files related to the wireless configuration.(hostapd and wpa_supplicant).

Well, for unknown reason, the "file system full" and the "rrdtool" errors are not reproducable today :) The only change since last occurence is a flashed Alix BIOS, which was neccessary because I couldn't change the baudrate. Nevertheless, all other issues are reproducable. In particular my WLAN card is not fully working, "ath0" aka "WLAN" appears as "open" in spite of enabled 802.1x authentication.

Can you try to merge this https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/26ea40b7f1b0718415247c47077ee8e665888819 or upgrade to a latest snapshot from tomorrow.
I already fixed this today because i had a clue this was happening.
Also a quick test to see if it fixes the error is by filling both configurations for radius config with the same info.
Thanks for the help on troubleshooting this.

Thanks for this good news. I have pointed my firmware update URL to http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/i386/pfSense_RELENG_2_1/.updaters/. Latest snapshot updates are from 2014-02-20. Do these snapshots already contain your patch or do I have to wait for newer snapshots?
I prefer using the pfSense updater as I am not that familar with pulling in from git. In particular, I do not know, if I can still use the updater after a git pull.
Regards,
Peter -
Yeah the latest snapshots have it.
-
I have just updated to the latest snapshot and done a quick check: Both WLANs are up and running for the first time with pfSense 2.1.x! Thanks so far. Now I can go into more testing details.

Peter
