Good morning all! I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my wireless up and running. I have wpa_supplicant, linux-firmware and just about everything else I can imagine installed on this box relating to a wireless connection. The wpa_gui has the adapter listed (wlo1) and the network sees my router along with everyone else's in my neighborhood. I entered my password and I get as far as associating (after authentication) and it just won't connect. I am assuming that this should be something simple but I can't seem to find the error. Please help.....
Thanks in advance for any assistance! |

| OK so found an issue, but I do not know how to fix the issue. I tried to restart networkmanager and it won't restart. Not sure where to go from here, or where I can see the error. |

FrankRizz0,
Thin may not be important, as wileless worked later
| Code: | [ 7.730463] iwlwifi 0000:43:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-6000-6.ucode failed with error -2
[ 7.730498] iwlwifi 0000:43:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-6000-5.ucode failed with error -2 |
iwlwifi did find some firmware.
The interesting bit starts here
| Code: | [ 17.675223] wlo1: authenticate with c8:d7:19:46:4a:23
[ 17.705334] wlo1: send auth to c8:d7:19:46:4a:23 (try 1/3)
[ 17.766614] wlo1: authenticated
[ 17.767707] wlo1: associate with c8:d7:19:46:4a:23 (try 1/3)
[ 17.768595] wlo1: RX AssocResp from c8:d7:19:46:4a:23 (capab=0x1011 status=0 aid=2)
[ 17.771142] wlo1: associated
[ 17.771196] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlo1: link becomes ready
[ 17.771351] wlo1: deauthenticating from c8:d7:19:46:4a:23 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) |
then it repeats. Reason 3 means that the user told wifi to deauthenticate.
This is usually a sign that several different network managers are active and wpa-supplicant is receiving conflicting commands as they don't know about one another.
You mentioned NetworkManager. How do you start it?
What do you have in | Code: | | /sbin/rc-update show |
What is in your
The idea is to only have a single network manager starting. The only way you can be sure of that is to get down to none, then add one to the default runlevel.

FrankRizz0,
will force the network service to start as its going to try to mount all the network filesystems in /etc/fstab.
If you don't have any network filesystems remove this from the default runlevel.
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant | default |
wpa_supplicant is called as needed, It sould not be in the default runlevel.
| /etc/conf.d/net: | | config_wlan1="dhcpcd" |
You don't have a wlan1.
| Code: | | [ 7.841848] iwlwifi 0000:43:00.0 wlo1: renamed from wlan0 |
but you did have a wlan0 until udev renamed it to wlo1.
What do you have in /etc/rc.conf for the
| Code: | rc_depend_strict
rc_hotplug |
options?
The comments explain what they do.

| Removed netmount from runlevel and also removed wpa_supplicant. In /etc/rc.conf rc_depend_strict was commented out. it is now rc_depend_strict="YES" and there is no rc_hotplug |

FrankRizz0,
You probably want
rc_depend_strict="NO" on a laptop so that the network service is up when either wired or wireless is up.
="YES" means you need both.
Anyway, what happens with wlo1 now?
The right answer is it stays down until you start it.

No idea how I read that wrong, I wanted it to be NO, but I still put YES, oh well. It's still wlo1, and it's still not working. I had to start dhcpcd to get wired internet, I'm assuming because I had it at yes?

Hi Neddy
Not sure if you're still watching this thread (or if anyone else is available for help) but I completely broke my Gentoo and had to reinstall. Unfortunately I'm having issues again with my wireless. I have gone through this thread multiple times and I can't figure out what the issue is. Below is my dmesg:
[url] https://paste.pound-python.org/show/5trVBv74tGTYTd83UVhi/
Here is my /etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_enp68s0="dhcpcd"
config_wlo1="dhcpcd"
|
Here is the output of /sbin/rc-update show:
| Code: | # /sbin/rc-update show
binfmt | boot
bootmisc | boot
cronie | default
dbus | default
devfs | sysinit
dhcpcd | default
dmesg | sysinit
fsck | boot
hostname | boot
hwclock | boot
keymaps | boot
killprocs | shutdown
kmod-static-nodes | sysinit
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
loopback | boot
modules | boot
mount-ro | shutdown
mtab | boot
net.enp68s0 | default
netmount | default
procfs | boot
root | boot
savecache | shutdown
sshd | default
swap | boot
sysctl | boot
sysfs | sysinit
syslog-ng | default
termencoding | boot
udev | sysinit
udev-trigger | sysinit
urandom | boot
xdm | default
|
In /etc/rc.conf I have rc_depend_strict="NO"
Finally, here is my wpa_supplicant.conf:

So I was finally able to connect, but unfortunately I could not use wpa_gui for this. I had to use wpa_cli. I did this by commenting everything out of my wpa_supplicant.conf except for ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel & update_config=1. I also added this below, which was directly from the wiki:
| Code: | network={
ssid="SSID"
psk="your-secret-key"
scan_ssid=1
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
priority=5
}
|
Not working the way I wanted it to, but it's working none the less. |

You might want to compare these settings with those in And ask yourself if you really want to set a value which is the default if none is set. |

You'd better start from minimal configuration file as shown in the #Global section. wpa_gui and/or wpa_cli will add the »network« sections for you. |

Yes, previously wpa_gui was setting that for me but unfortunately it's not doing it after I reinstalled Gentoo. I do not have an answer for this unfortunately  |

So I've continued to work on this issue because of my apparent OCD. My wpa_gui is scanning fine, I can add other routers to it (wpa_gui), I can connect and I am connected, but when I do /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 I still get this error:
| Code: | /etc/init.d/net.wlo1 restart
* Bringing down interface wlo1
* Stopping dhcpcd on wlo1 ...
control_open: Connection refused
sending signal TERM to pid 5658
waiting for pid 5658 to exit [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_cli on wlo1 ... [ ok ]
* Stopping wpa_supplicant on wlo1 ... [ ok ]
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
Error talking to the kernel
* Bringing up interface wlo1
* Starting wpa_supplicant on wlo1 ...
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant [ ok ]
* Starting wpa_cli on wlo1 ... [ ok ]
* Backgrounding ... ...
* WARNING: net.wlo1 has started, but is inactive

Please help, I have no idea where to go from here.
Thanks in advance for any assistance! |
