 |
|
Ladies and gents,
Wireless network is not working after a new install and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
My system is openrc and I try to run wpa_supplicant with netifrc (which works fine on another machine):
NIC shows up properly:
| Code: | # ifconfig ra0
ra0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 90:e6:ba:f0:08:b3 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |
There are some relevant dmesg outputs:
| Code: | [ 0.485793] Loading firmware: nvidia/gm206/acr/ucode_load.bin

kernel config should be ok too:
| Code: | # CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3 is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=y
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_TI is not set
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_NI_INTEL=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CAMELLIA_AESNI_AVX_X86_64=y

# CONFIG_MAC80211_HWSIM is not set
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="regulatory.db regulatory.db.p7s"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware" |
There's my /etc/conf.d/net
| Code: | modules_ra0="wpa_supplicant"
preferred_aps="XXXXXXXXXXX"
wpa_supplicant_ra0="-Dnl80211"
associate_timeout_ra0=5
config_ra0="dhcp" |
and my wpa_supplicant.conf:
| Code: | update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
passive_scan=0
#user_mpm=1
#max_peer_links=99
#mesh_max_inactivity=300
fast_reauth=1
#filter_ssids=0
network={
disabled=0
ssid="XXXXXXXXX"
scan_ssid=0
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
priority=2
} |
And starting net.ra0 service does not generate complaints but ends telling ra0 is inactive.
Finally I can't get an IP from dhcp. I us dhcpcd which is at runlevel default.
Does anyone see what I missed here?
Best regards,  |

Adrien,
WPA encryption is broken and should not be used.
By default, wpa_supplicant is built without WPA support.
If you must use WPA, and you probably must with that chipset, wpa_supplicant needs to have USE=tkip set.
Will your Access Point let you use WPA ?

I thought tkip was broken and had to be removed from use flags.
Yes I do use wpa and wireless is unfortunately not an option for me.
When talking WPA, do you oppose it to wpa2?
I'll try to rebuild wpa_supplicant with tkip and restart rc-scripts for a start.
Edit: Still not working, have to check about my AP letting me use wpa, though

Adrien,
WPA=tkip is broken. At least its no longer secure.
WPA2 and WPA3 are OK as far as I know.

Yep, ok, I see.
Do you have any knowledge of rtw8822bu chipset working with wpa2-3?
I may use this as a replacement... |

Adrien,
Sorry, I don't.
I rarely use wifi, then I run my own crypto on top of whatever the wifi provides.

Thanks for help anyway
I'll wait a bit and see if I can get more feedbacks on this. |
