Hi All, We have some embedded linux devices with TI cc3301 chipset. At one of our labs, the router (linksys MR6350) according to IWD will show up as wep security then go back to psk. Odd thing is this router doesn't even support WEP - the only security option it has listed in wpa2-personal or open. We have like 20 devices in the lab and it appears to be happening to some or all of them. I'm needing to remote desktop over to a computer that has a serial connection... so slightly difficult to get logs. I want to just blame the router and have them replace it, but I figured I'd check if there is any other issue here as well. I have full IWD debug logs saved, but here is a snippet. 2025-05-12 16:15:53.428737870 Wireless daemon version 3.4 <SNIP> 2025-05-12 16:15:55.791609235 src/station.c:station_print_scan_bss() Processing BSS 'd8:ec:5e:99:0e:6c' with SSID: Revelotest4, freq: 2427, rank: 492, strength: -4600, data_rate: 72.2 2025-05-12 16:15:55.791622150 src/station.c:station_add_seen_bss() Added new Network "Revelotest4" security wep <SNIP> 2025-05-12 16:22:15.714231348 src/station.c:station_print_scan_bss() Processing BSS 'd8:ec:5e:99:0e:6c' with SSID: Revelotest4, freq: 2427, rank: 492, strength: -4700, data_rate: 72.2 2025-05-12 16:22:15.714244273 src/station.c:station_add_seen_bss() Added new Network "Revelotest4" security psk <SNIP> 2025-05-12 16:22:15.717638513 src/station.c:process_network() No remaining BSSs for SSID: Revelotest4 -- Removing network Then killing IWD and restarting 2025-05-12 16:23:24.015924492 src/station.c:station_print_scan_bss() Processing BSS 'd8:ec:5e:99:0e:6c' with SSID: Revelotest4, freq: 2427, rank: 492, strength: -4500, data_rate: 72.2 2025-05-12 16:23:24.015937250 src/station.c:station_add_seen_bss() Added new Network "Revelotest4" security psk On another 2 device: (2025-05-08 date is incorrect it was before it got good time).
