[wpa_supplicant] crashing after trying to connect several times

Description

I am running hrev47380 on an Asus EeePC 901 with the built-in Ralink WiFi adapter. After selecting a WPA/WPA2 network to connect to from the deskbar network icon, a dialog opens that lets me enter the network password. I enter the correct password and press ok. The network adapter is now "configuring" the connection.

After a few seconds the network password dialog opens again. I re-confirm the password (which is now shown) with OK and wpa_supplicant crashes (see attached debug log). Sometimes the aforementioned dialog opens a few times (every time I press OK) until the crash finally occurs. The network adapter stays in mode "Configuring".

In my case, (EEE901) it says "Configuring" and after 5 or 10 minutes it confirms that the link has been established, but then no such link is established. It doesn't work. I don't have more data to hand at the moment, though, so sorry if it's not much help...

This did work before (not sure in which revision it stopped working - I guess I could find out with a spare afternoon of git bisecting but I can't afford the time right now)

Just wanted to give an update. The bug as described above still persists in hrev49173, but the crashes after trying to connect a few times seem to occur less often (I think).

Every time when trying to connect, in the Network preferences the status of the ralinkwifi/0 changes to "connected (---)" and a notification comes up saying "Configuring". After a couple of seconds it goes back to "disconnected".

I am attaching some crash reports. Is there any other information (maybe some wifi supplicant log somewhere) that I could attach?

Another update, still hrev49173 but with a newer (and apparently less broken) WIFI router: With the new router using WPA2 there is no repeated password dialogue and also no crash. However, there still seems to be a problem in the background that keeps the connection in the "Configuring" stage for some time (probably 2-3 minutes). Then, the connection is shown as "Ready" but the network doesn't work. I am attaching the syslog -- it looks like a repeating problem with DHCP.

The bug is still active in hrev52044; I'm seeing exactly what christof described in his latest comment (on an Eee Pc 901).

That is a different issue; probably #13789. Closing as fixed then.
