So this happened:

And I'm anxious to patch my routers. Debian has already patched WPA. When can we expect a patch for DDWRT?

It's only WiFi clients that need patching, so unless you set dd-wrt up as a repeater or similar it doesn't matter.

its already fixed with apple, but good luck to andorid.. them and their several months or years or never, for fragmented updates etc. what a huge mess that poor platform is.

hello all,
since the hack is working based on the 4 ways handshake, do you think patching one leg of the connection (i.e.: patching only the router and not clients - for example android devices) is protecting the whole network or not?

i also have a problem with a old surveillance cam that is never going to receive an update on this topic..

There will be an option in the webif in the next build, that allows to set an flag that will fix that issue even if the client does not have a patch, but it can cause interoperability issues and therefore is off by default.

Well I happen to use one router as a WDS station, so yes exactly.

I can't do a thing for your cam, but LineageOS is keeping my Nexus 5 shiny and new. I just installed this week's build which patched wpa_supplicant. If your phone is supported, I highly encourage using it (just like I encourage using dd-wrt on residental routers).

This sounds incredibly good!
btw this means that having the router "patched" is not protecting the network (unless this magic option is enabled Smile)
thanks!

@retry: i've been using cyano - lineage for ages on my devices, not a problem Smile
bigger problem is the samsung i have to use for work Smile

This is an amazing option which will help with the vast reality of a lot of the clients which will never be updated.

Do we know which build this will be in?
I've tried 33555 and I don't see anything - but I'm not sure I know what to look for.

EDIT: Here is the setting: Disable EAPOL Key Retries
Info: https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/QCA_wireless_settings#Disable_EAPOL_Key_Retries
Unfortunately currently it seems to be Qualcomm Atheros based only.

Funny how this issue is causing me to finally give in to updating my super stable DD-WRT setups Razz
