Can't Connect: Wifi Deauth local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

herojeanpierre · 2017-07-02 19:20:13

So I have used wpa_cli, wifi-menu, connman, network manager (nmcli and nm-applet), netctl, and iw dev connect, and nothing has worked. dmesg -w has always thrown the

 [  736.932858] wlp9s0: deauthenticating from 28:cf:da:ad:21:59 by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

I feel as if I looked at enough of the other forum posts talking about his problem and there solutions haven't seemed to help:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164279

What I've tried:

 sudo rfkill unblock wlan0

-

sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service

--- I did this for other managers other than nm because it seemed to be interferring.
- kill all wpa_supplicant
- changing my wifi controller
- crying

I'll fill you in on some of what is happening on my system after a fresh pacman -Syu.
The complete kernel code:

Any help is much appreciated, is there anything else that would be helpful for me to show? Thanks, I hope to soon be freed of my bondage with the ethernet.

I have (and often have had in the past) on and off the same issue; since a few days it happens again. It helps when I limit my router to g instead of b/g/n.

Hey, herojeanpierre,
this is a funny one.

I had the same problems and I were literally pulling my hair out while installing arch via WiFi.

It seems like the WiFi card sometimes 'randomly' decides if it wants to connect to an AP or not, although the drivers, wpa_supplicant, etc. are loaded correctly.
Another weird thing I noticed is that 'wifi-menu' is showing WPA2 connections as WPA and WPA as WPA2. I'm not sure if that has something to do with this issue as it might just be a typo. netctl also didn't work at this point. My logs looked identical to yours. I've played with interfaces, services, signal meters and network managers, applets for hours to find out where the bug might be, googled, asked, but nothing could really satisfied me. Until..

Until I decided to reboot my router and give it a try.
Although there was nothing wrong with my router, rebooting it and running 'wifi-menu' a sec or two afterwards, made an established connection to the selected AP. Pacstrap time baby! \o/

I recreated the same scenario multiple times and rebooting the router fixed it for me. I wish same luck to you! ;-)

This error should get reported and fixed asap due to it's annoyances.

Just FYI, if you're using NetworkManager, make sure you have gnome-keyring installed, and disable/stop all other active network devices if this is the case.

Hope it helps.

Hey thanks so much, I want try this. However, I do not really know what you mean by rebooting my router. Do you mean like, a physical router? Cause if so I can't since I do not have access to the router since I am on university wi-fi, also that wouldn't solve the real problem with my device, cause if I move locations in will be a different router, right?

Is the wifi network you are trying to connect to by any chance eduroam?

herojeanpierre · 2017-07-13 19:10:35

It is not I still am not able to connect to wifi. I tried 3 different kernels, (zen and lts) and still doesn't work. However, when I moved GUI's from i3 to cinnamon it actually worked. The only problem is I hate cinnamon haha. What in the world could i3 be doing that is causing this error!?

R00KIE · 2017-07-13 20:36:28

Check how to disable MAC address randomization and see if that helps, no other ideas here.

evilteemo · 2017-07-26 19:04:43

Sorry for the late reply.

Too bad you don't have the access to reboot the router. Yes, I meant it physically by unplugging it's power supply.

I'm also out of ideas..

Have you tried it on a friends wifi or something like that?

gonzalobf · 2017-08-03 08:35:02

Hi herojeanpierre,

I had the same problem with my work wifi after updating the system one month ago. Today, I decided to remove all profiles that are in /etc/netctl and in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections with network names (in my case, I remove all of them). After doing it, it started to work again. I know that sounds very stupid but maybe it works. Let us know if it works
