Hello,

I having problem connecting a NOkia cell phone to my home wifi network.

The wifi network is provided by a wireless card in a machine running Debian Testing and 2.6.26-2-686 kernel. The cars is D-Link DWL-G520 working in ap mode and has WPA encryption enabled.

The wireless network is provided by hostapd using madwifi driver. Windows and Mac machines work properly with this wifi network.

When I try to get the Nokia phone to connect to the wifi network, I get these lines in my dnsmasq log (to see lines without wrapping, here is the pastebin link for convenience - http://pastebin.com/m466c8fd2):

Anybody know the problem might be?

If I switch off dnsmasq dhcp queries logging, i.e. if I decrease the verbosity of the log, all I see are two lines of DHCPDISCOVER(ath0) and DHCPOFFER(ath0) repeatedly in the log with no acceptance by the cell phone.

It appears as though the phone is not accepting the dhcp offer.

However, if I give the phone a static IP address in its configuration, it works properly on the wifi network. So it appears as though the problem is dhcp related.

Hints? Suggestions?

Installed stuff:


$> dpkg -l dnsmasq hostap* | grep ^i
ii  dnsmasq       2.50-1  A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
ii  dnsmasq-base  2.50-1  A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
ii  hostapd       1:0.6.9-3  user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/

Thanks. PS: Here is the DHCP tcp dump for more information (with mac addresses changed):
