Failure to associate with AP about reaver-wps

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can confirm having the exact same problem on Arch Linux with this network 
card: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (rev 34).

Same here. I cannot associate. Linuxmint, reaver 1.0, libpcap 0.8, flex/bison

What drivers are you guys using? It's been tested with ath9k and realtek (Alpha 
card) drivers, but carl9170 is known to not work.

I'm using iwlagn from kernel 3.1.5.

Confirmed here as well:

Backtrack 5.0 R1 (vmware) + Reaver 1.0
Realtek 8187 card (rtl8187)

Similar issue here too, though have yet to test different WPA configs, WEP 
configs also note association failure, could a work-around be aireplay-ng 
--fakeauth???

Hardware:
chipset : Ralink RT2870/3070 
driver  : rt2800usb - [phy1]

Software:
Reaver1-0
Ubuntu 11.10 native.

Comments:
Otherwise I'll assume its working on cracking the WPS Pin while it fails to 
associate, which would make sense to me.

I would like to see is more feedback from the program.

my AP is a Cisco Linksys WAG120N which has the WPS Pin structure...

Me too on Ubuntu. Using Using ALFA AWUS036H and driver rtl8187

Hrm...I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with an Alfa AWUS036H (rtl8187) right now and 
it's chugging along just fine. I'm doing some testing, will report back ASAP.

I can confirm that I've reproduced the issue on Backtrack 5 RC1 with the 
AWUS036H and rtl8187 driver. The same card works fine in Ubuntu 10.04. Looking 
for the problem now.

I also have this issue.

Backtrack R4, AWUS036NH with rt2800usb.

The card otherwise works perfect in BT4 with this driver but I'm getting the 
'failed to associate' error.

The router being testing is a Linksys WAG160N.

Is it possible to associate with another program e.g. aireplay-ng?

Don't know for sure but it may a be cause or a fix:

I'm not using the patched kernel for aircrack-ng which the program in fact 
recommends, aircrack-ng works fine though I have to use ---ignore-negative-one 
on aireplay, here is the source to patch the wireless kernel for compatibility, 
like I say i'm not sure if its a solution, but if you (Reaver Programmer) say 
its a good idea I'll give it a try:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/#compat-wireless_3.2_stable_
releases

Also available on the Ubuntu repositories if your using a package manager.

Please let me know! :] thanks.

All, I've found and fixed the issue. Very silly bug in the association receive 
loop, but for reasons yet unknown still happened to work on my development box. 

New code is checked in to subversion, as soon as others verify that this fixes 
their issues, I will cut a new release of Reaver.

From Backtrack 5 RC1 with the AWUS036H and rtl8187 driver:

maguila,

I have not tested the iwlagn drivers, but since you were able to associate I'd 
suspect that injection is working properly. The failed associations and receive 
timeouts are usually an indication of poor signal strength or a lot of wireless 
interference.

The segfault is troubling though. Can you give more info on your OS ?

I'm using Archlinux x64. We use almost the latest packages on everything as it 
is a rolling release distro.

I have tried to run under gdb but I don't know why I don't get the segmentation 
fault:

Thanks, this has also been verified by Stefan; marking as verified.

Cheff, I am using carl9170 with Reaper v1.4 and it's working fine. It's a USB 
D-Link card. Did not want to run reaper in BT5 but works fine with Ubuntu 11.10 
3.1.5.

I have the same problem as OP. I'm running a BackTrack 5 Live USB. I've tried 
to get results with three cards: the AWUS036H (driver rtl8187), the AWUS036NH 
(driver 2800usb) and the integrated Broadcom adapter (I forget the exact model, 
but it uses the b43 driver under BT). I'm using reaver-1.4bt1. 

I get no results save a spam of "failed to associate". I have tried this 
against several access points, all of which are of relatively high power (-60 
or better) and quality (80+%).

What might be the problem here?

I have the same issue with Reaver v1.4.  I'm running BT5 in Virtualbox with 
Alfa AWUS036H card and driver rtl8187.
