 Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2020 10:32 am Post subject: [SOLVED] wpa_supplicant Deauthentication problem |
 |
|
I just installed Gentoo to my old laptop Packard Bell Easynote MS2300.
Everything seems to work fine, except for the wireless connection with Qualcomm Atheros wireless card (driver ath9k).
While installing, I easily connected to Wi-Fi with 2 terminal commands like:
| Code: | | wpa_passphrase ssid passwd > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
and
| Code: | | wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp5s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf |
But once rebooted into the installed system, I got problems. Wpa_supplicant says it is initialized successfully, but Internet isn't working.
I looked into dmesg and found out that it automatically deauthenticated for Reason 2: "Previous authentication no longer valid" - right after authentification.
I use dhcpcd and it doesn't get any IP info (since, I believe, there is no connection).
I would appreciate any clues. Maybe, I lack some drivers. Maybe, I should enable simple wired Ethernet card? (I didn't do that since I don't use it.) I was trying to solve this for two days already and have no progress and couldn't find similar problem topics.
Thanks in advance.

Now I unmerged netifrc.
The wpa_supplicant is already in init.d, but I also added dhcpcd as per this article.
I restart /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant - ok.
But when I restart /etc/init.d/dhcpcd it restart and then starts "Mounting network filesystems", which last like forever. Should I just try and wait for some time? Or is it an error?
When I try debugging mode with , it says that wlp5s0 is waiting for carrier. so seems like the problem is with connection and dhcp just can't get proper info from Wifi router. |

bebyx,
look at the upper right corner of this page. There are four links. One reads: "View unanswered posts". You replied to your own thread and effectively decreased the visibility of your problem.

This was a bad idea. Did you even look what is in that package before removing it?
You are not providing any logs, thus it has to be a guesswork from our side ... I guess you have more than one network management service activated, these are conflicting with each other.

I also think so (regarding network management), that's why I unmerged netifrc and removed /etc/init.d/net, as per this advice. I was hoping it would fix the issue, but nothing changed.
The output of dmesg is:

Then you also have correct settings in /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant, including the -M option??

Are you having any network file systems to be mounted? If not remove that initd from the runlevels. |

| I looked into rc-config list and saw some netmount which starts by default. Is it a netifrc service? I made rc-update del netmount default, and deleted netmount in conf.d and init.d files. Still not working inet. |

Yes, I do. It's | Code: | | wpa_supplicant_args="-B -M -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf" |
The wpa_supplicant.conf file has
| Code: |
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=users
update_config=1
country=UA
network={
ssid="myssid"
#psk="mypsk"
psk=numbers
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
|
Maybe, I need to change something there. |

This is your chance to make friends with /etc/rc.conf
| /etc/rc.conf: | # Set rc_interactive to "YES" and you'll be able to press the I key during
# boot so you can choose to start specific services. Set to "NO" to disable
# this feature. This feature is automatically disabled if rc_parallel is
# set to YES.
#rc_interactive="YES"
|
Uncomment it and do a reboot interactively and you should see where it's hanging |

Thanks for a good tip, but unfortunately I couldn't detect anything suspicious except netmount which I skipped. Still not working. |

Dmesg shows the same deauthentification for Reason 2. Ip link shows No carrier and state DOWN mode DORMANT. |

Please wgetpaste the full dmesg output
Is the ... then starts "Mounting network filesystems", error gone? Or still exists?
Have you worked through the wifi article? |

Mounting network filesystems doesn't show since I skip netmount service.
Do you think I could miss something in my kernel? |

| I added ath9k driver as module and added AES cipher options. Rebuilt, rebooted, nothing changed. |

Why edit that file manually while wpa_cli exists? |

Because... I haven't got myself acquainted with wpa_cli. But thanks for the clue. That's just a matter of time.  |
