Hi, folks!

I have the problem with connection to wpa2 networks after gentoo re-installation at this laptop. Before system reinstall i had a working wifi here (by this router and my mobile hotspot). I tried to connect my router and hotspot. Both connections have same log output. Now i have non-modular kernel 4.19.27-gentoo-r1 with all checked (i hope) network-needs in .config from wifi and wpa_supplicant manuals. I have a KDE5 and using kde network applet. It shows list of available networks and can connect/disconnect enp4s0 but can't connect wlp5s0. It just ask me to input psk time by time after few attempts to connect. I copy-paste correct psk by the way. I need your help! Thanks!

You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was
left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need
to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again.

it is just a guess but did you install sys-kernel/linux-firmware ?
also it might not be related to the reinstall. i would check the signal strenght and presence of other routers on the channel yours (possible interferences) with: net-wireless/aircrack-ng
further you could try to shutdown the NetworkManager and try to connect with wpa_supplicant manually.

In this case i would go outside with this machine if it is an portable and check some other AP. Just in case your router is making the problems.
not much traffic there. i would opt out the interferences.
also why the fuck is airmon doing well and you cant connect??? This might be the router or NetworkManager.

Probably more than one process is trying to manage your wifi, resulting in a conflict. For instance, wpa_supplicant seems to be run twice.

maybe we should take peek at: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
--also where are the ascii arts SSIDs? I always do one to make people happy :)

More likely is wpa_supplicant is started separately, while it should be started only by NWM.

Code:
4105 wpa_supplicant
4133 NetworkManager
4178 wpa_supplicant


See the PID is lower than NWM, it should not start before NWM starts it.

in this case the is some service running more as it should be. probably we need an output of rc-update. that should cover the issue.

Messire,

Code:
<3>CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=5a:8b:f3:68:ee:f4 reason=3

Reason 3 means you asked it to disconnect.

The usual cause of this is several network control systems fighting over wpa-supplicant and wpa-supplicant obeying the last order it recieved.

I think this post could use a few more nouns and fewer pronouns. If your post was serious, it was unclear whom you are directing, and in my opinion, the "will be a mayhem" idea is incorrect. This is a serious thread and so far no one has brought up any of the typical hot-button topics that derail threads. If your post was a joke, it would be helpful if it were more clearly identifiable as such.

Thanks 4 your answers. I ll check your ideas untill monday and post here result.
Also this laptop have win8.1 on second disk and at windows i can connect to this router and my hotspot by this wifi module w/o any problems - so it's just software case. Also after installing net-wireless/aircrack-ng and 7 it's deps and reboot i have empty list in NM and have no any adapters in wpa_supplicant gui. BUT in widows all ok at same time! Mayby i have been switched adapter to mon mode and this mode should be turned off? emerge -C net-wireless/aircrack-ng and reboot not helping to see APs again. Nothing was changed exept manipulations with net-wireless/aircrack-ng

as above you have wpa_supplicant running twice. did you add both wpa_supplicant and NetworkManger as service? could you please post the output of rc-update?

e3k,

wpa_supplicant will only run once. Its accepting commands from two or more interface managers that have no idea the other(s) exist.

The way forward is to remove all the interface managers from the default runlevel and reboot.
At this point, there should be no attempt to start the wifi interface. If there is, something is still starting it.

Once you gen WiFi to not start on boot, you are in control again.
Add exactly one network interface manager to the default runlevel.

so you think the issue is NM and wpa_gui conflict?

e3k,

Network Manager uses wpa-supplicant.
I think its Network Manager and one or more other things trying to control wpa-supplicant.

NeddySeagoon,

he probably started wpa_supplicant as service with some nonsense config he did read on the mighty Web of InfoRMation as service per open rc. later he did install NetworkManager and wpa_gui. Yes i agree he should uninstall waste in order to keep enthropy low.

yes.. it's very strange but it was wrong looks like
i did bzless /usr/share/doc/${P}/wpa_supplicant.conf.bz2 > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and after clean up i have adapter in wpa_gui
and have log in wpa_cli

You still have various Network Control things fighting over your interface.

What does
Code:
rc-update -v show
output

SOLVED! thanks a lot 4 advice!

both wpa_supplicant and NetyworkManager ware at default runlevel.

Conclusions:
1) use bzless /usr/share/doc/${P}/wpa_supplicant.conf.bz2 > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and uncomment update_config=1
after wpa_gui/cli first use
it would contains only
Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1


looks like in my case my old broken config had
Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
update_config=1

but maybe also invisible unicode char after copy-&-paste from manual web page...

2) if you are using NetworkManager just it should be added default runlevel but not wpa_supplicant.
In my case were added both and i had a conflict for my adapter between NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant.

good. there are a few steps to do. 1. set the subject of this thread to [solved] 2. if you are interested in tuning wifi routers according the running buzz let me know. i can write you an article about it.
