Impossible to connect to some WiFi networks (DEAUTH_LEAVING)

josiano · 2018-10-30 10:03:28

Hello,

I have some issues while trying to connect to some WiFi networks, but not all of them.

I remember having that issue last year or so and I had fixed it by switching from NetworkManager to Wicd. Now it happens again:

$ lspci -k

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 88)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
	Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

$ systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

UNIT FILE                    STATE  
autovt@.service              enabled
bluetooth.service            enabled
dbus-org.bluez.service       enabled
dbus-org.wicd.daemon.service enabled
display-manager.service      enabled
getty@.service               enabled
lxdm.service                 enabled
wicd.service                 enabled
remote-fs.target             enabled

and the error when wicd fails:

$ journalctl -xe

I cannot connect manually either.. This is the error with wpa_supplicant (sorry I lost the full error log):

could not unlink existing ctrl_iface socket ...

and it also fails with wifi-menu/netctl:

I'm completely clueless after having searched *a lot* for solutions.. Re-installing my system is not an option for now.

Thanks for your help!

The wpa_supplicant and wifi-menu errors are pretty clear: you need to first stop any other wireless management tool (and for wifi-menu perhaps put the interface down).

Please stop any other wireless management processes, then retry wpa_supplicant posting the complete output here.

@Trilby sorry if that's a n00b question but how do I make sure that any other wireless tool has stopped?

Before trying wpa_supplicant I had disabled wicd.service, exited wicd, rebooted and checked for any wpa_supplicant process and didn't find any.
