alright - this is going to be frustrating...

i updated the system for the first time this year this morning, and after a reboot, my networking is borked. i'm typing this from my laptop, not the machine - so copying logs / output will be difficult.

i use wpa_supplicant to connect. my config file is untouched.

as best i can recreate it:
Code:
[~ %] wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlo1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd
wpa_supplicant v2.0
random: getrandom() support available
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Initializing interface 'wlo1' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'nl80211' ctrl_interface 'N/A' bridge 'N/A'
Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'
Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'
ctrl_interface='DIR/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel'
ctrl_interface_group='0'
ap_scan=1
Line: 15 - start of a new network block
ssid - hexdump_ascii(len=9)
 <blah blah blah - my ssid looks good, and a long list of supported cipher 00:0f-ac:# - blah blah>
nl80211: kernel reports: Match already configured
nl80211: Register frame command failed (type=208): ret=-114 (Operation already in progress)
<blah blah blah - this happens a lot>


is the "already configured" and subsequent failure my problem? if so, how do i fix this?

FWIW, making matters worse, it seems i no longer have dhcpcd installed... so i can't even get my wired interface online.

help?

A recent common issue has been deprecation of TKIP support. I would guess that during the update, wpa_supplicant was compiled without TKIP support.

If you don't need TKIP to connect, make sure your wpa_supplicant.conf file doesn't have it. If you know you need TKIP, then you can recompile wpa_supplicant with USE=tkip.

After removing tkip from the pairwise line, wpa_supplicant worked again.
