 |
|
I'd had my wifi working without any issues for over a year but after an update and a reboot, my laptop wifi stopped working. Prior my wifi interface was named wlp2s0, now it's wlan0. I'm not running dhcpd or wpa_supplicant. I only use nmcli.

I dont know why the rename happened.
It is usually a result of
net.ifnames=0
kernel parameter.
But you can try
| Code: |
nmcli con show
nmcli con mod <wifi-connection-from-above-command> ifname wlan0
nmcli con up <wifi-connection-from-above-command>
|

It seems like wlan0 or previously wlp2s0 is not being recognized by nmcli despite the kernel modules being loaded as shown in the lspci |

/etc/default/grub hasn't been changed since I installed Gentoo and this issue only started a week ago, I have that setting commented out:

You tried to edit the wrong connection.
enp4s0f3u1u1 is ethernet NOT wifi.

Ok your wifi iface is not recognized.
Probably kernel or lfirmware related.
How did you create the wifi connection?
Via nmcli or GUI
Try
| Code: |
nmcli con del homewifi
|
and recreate a wifi connection.
Also try
and check if wifi is blocked.
Anything in dmesg wifi-related?
Also try
| Code: |
ip link set wlan0 up
iw dev wlan0 scan
|
is wlan0 functional?

I created the wifi connection with nmcli (haven't had any issues with it up until last week I think was working for over a year perfectly before that)

Apparently now you do.

Plz try either of the two
1.Delete and recreate the wifi connection
2.Build networkmanager with USE="-iwd".If it works make it permanent via package.use.
| Code: |
I don't have iw installed and

|
Plz be willing to emerge
and run
| Code: |
ip link set wlan0 up
iw dev wlan0 scan
|
Lets ascertain wlan0 is functional
If you prefer to not use iw try
| Code: |
nmcli radio wifi on
nmcli dev wifi list

Ok so your wlan0 is functional.
Now plz delete and recreate the NM wifi connection.
| Code: |
nmcli con del homewifi
nmcli con add con-name homewifi ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid homewifi
nmcli con modify homewifi wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk
nmcli con modify homewifi wifi-sec.psk <password>
nmcli con up homewifi
|
This is dhcp setup.if you prefer static IP let me know.
If this works and to avoid further future disappointments plz use
as a grub kernel parameter.
Of course in such case you will need to modify your ethernet connection also.

Ok it seems NM is the problem.
Since you had no indications in dmesg and you were able to scan with "iw" it seems indeed NM is the problem
Plz try another version and/or open a bug report.
The following will let you know which wifi driver you use
| Code: |
lspci -nkk | grep -A3 $(lspci | grep -i wireless | awk '{ print $1 }')
|
Can you plz post the output

Downgrading to 1.38.2 fixed the issue. |

NetworkManager has changed its default from using wpa_supplicant to configure wifi to using iwd to configure wifi, and iwd ... just doesn't work I guess.
There's a bug report about it on bugzilla, but the responses seem to be more concerned with adding a news item that the default has changed, but doesn't seem to want to talk about fixing iwd. I dunno. |

That's not necessary either as far as it's not related.
Udev is responsible for interface names. It has not been renamed to wlan0. It just hasn't been renamed to whatever the rules udev follows tell it to.
You won't find anything in any nmcli or even dmesg. Dmesg will only contain something *if* there was a rename, like:
| Code: | | kernel: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0 wlp4s0: renamed from wlan0 |
There wasn't, that's why you have it as wlan0. Wired interfaces are ethX without udev taking care of them. Udev does that because sometimes interface names change depending on which driver loaded first and cause a mess. Udev takes care you have consistent interface names across reboots.
Check in /var/log/emerge.log if uder update occurred. Try reemerging it.
I'd recommend seeking help in #gentoo at Libera.chat. It's much faster and easier and you won't get into unnecessary stuff.
Regards,
Georgi |

| See the Interface management section in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iwd, it gives what to change to prevent the device name change. |

So after all something is messing with udev.
But from this becomes clear that the OP is using testing packages, because I just synced and updated world and NM still has iwd disabled by default.
So the solution is:
| Iwd Wiki Page wrote: | | configuring setting UseDefaultInterface to true in /etc/iwd/main.conf |
EDIT: Or as I continue to read about it, from the client perspective nothing has changed except if IWD is stopped. So maybe it needs to be enabled in OpenRC or Systemd and everything will work automatically.
EDIT2: I migrated and the only problem is that it didn't want to connect automatically. I needed to forget the old wireless networks and connect anew. I guess iwd won't work with wireless connections setup by wpa_supplicant.
EDIT3: as properly pointed out below, wpa_supplicant must be disabled. However with iwd my wifi only works in g modes.
Regards,
Georgi

Udev is responsible for interface names. It has not been renamed to wlan0. It just hasn't been renamed to whatever the rules udev follows tell it to.
You won't find anything in any nmcli or even dmesg. Dmesg will only contain something *if* there was a rename, like:

Still the OP changed ifname to wlan0 in nmcli invocation.
Still no wlan0 visible.
Apparently in the case of "iwd" it needs to be enabled whereas "wpa_supplicant" needs to be disabled or you will have a race condition.
Apparently NM know when to use it without the need to have it enabled by the user.
NM using iwd and causing havoc is rather irresponsible

I wrote most of that before knowing iwd did its own interface management. Still nmcli and interface renaming is not going anywhere. Assuming what the issue is without confirming it is a sure way of unecessary trouble.
Neither wpa_supplicant, nor NM, nor iwd are to blame here. This is a question of proper migration. NM 1.38.4 is still marked testing for a reason.

Thats why it is good if the OP opened a bug report.

That is a bad suggestion unless you want to volunteer in bug processing.
In the mean time I'm migrating back to NM 1.38.2 and wpa_supplicant as 1.38.4 and iwd is still not good for use as evident. |
