At *very* least don't background wpa_supplicant. Run it in the foreground and watch the output (post it here). The add one or two debug flags. Then perhaps an strace.
]]>So the original wpa_supplicant was the faulty part, I don't know why. I'll update my post title.
Should I file a bug report for that or something ?
And when I try to start wpa_supplicant by hand like in the wiki, I get a segmentation fault.
Pretty sure it's related.
Will look more into that.
#cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
#wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp6s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[1] 20843 segmentation fault wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp6s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.19(1)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
pacman -Qkk bash
/bin/bash --version
I tried with another profile without a dash in it and I got the same segmentation fault error.
I just swapped my intel wifi card with another one; same error.
]]>When I switch back to Archlinux, I litterally swap hard drives on my laptop after doing a real shutdown of Windows 10.
Even if I wasn't turning it off completly, that doesn't change anything that only netctl with my wifi is not working on my system (but others network managers are fine) and was able to use it when I booted Arch Linux from USB.
]]>]]>Windows 10
Here are some more infos :
I did a full system upgrade through pacman this morning, but issue still here.
When I booted from USB to solve another small issue, I did not have issue to connect to a wifi access point. The key was made back in december though.
I tried debugging all that, but I don't know really know how to do that. I tried using gdb and bash -x, but got nothing useful
]]>Hello folks,
So, my Intel 6205 card cannot connect to Wifi network with netctl.
Everytime I launch a wireless netctl profile, it crashes. I have no issue using it with my wired profiles.
Wifi-menu is not able to scan anything.
I can set the card up and scan with iwlist without issue and Windows 10 has no issue using the card.
Issue appeared after I booted from Windows 10 then come back to Arch this morning. Was working without issue this morning and yesterday and I didn't do an update with pacman since a few days.
Here's the output of "systemctl status netctl@wlp6s0\\x2dVIDEOTRON5429_5GHz.service" after I tried "netctl start videotron5429_5GHz"

What I can do or should do ?
I'll try using another network manager real soon to be able to work wherever I go, but I really prefer netctl.
