netctl with failover help

Hello all,

I'm trying to get netctl with wired to wireless failover working, but am running into a  roadblock..

I've read, re-read and re-re-read the wiki's here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Netctl#Bonding

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WP … passphrase

and

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … pendencies

I followed the wired to wireless failover... and created my bond0 interface... wired works

I then created: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf per the wiki and rebooted.

I get this:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlo1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DORMANT mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

as you can see, wlo1 is not up or bonded. I pull a journalctl and get this:

 bond0: wlo1 is up - this may be due to an out of date ifenslave

so I followed the next step about creating a custom dependency, and...that's where I get lost.

the wiki states to create a custom dependency file: /etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service.d/customdependency.conf

in my case i would change wlan0 to wlo1. however, I don't have that directory structure. do I just create the missing structure?

am I missing a file? a step somewhere?

thanx

Re: netctl with failover help

Yes create /etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@wlo1.service.d/customdependency.conf or `systemctl edit wpa_supplicant@wlo1.service` should create a drop in file.

Re: netctl with failover help

@loqs,

Thanx for the quick reply, I made the file, rebooted, and I get this:

ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

3: wlo1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DORMANT mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000

ip addr

    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master bond0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlo1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::e611:5bff:fe57:9aaf/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.16.0.136/24 brd 10.16.0.255 scope global noprefixroute bond0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::e611:5bff:fe57:9aaf/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

and if I check journalctl

 bond0: wlo1 is up - this may be due to an out of date ifenslave

not sure what I'm missing. All I'm looking to do is use wired, and then when I unplug my wifi takes over.

cheers,

Re: netctl with failover help

What is the updated service file now?

systemctl cat wpa_supplicant@wlo1.service

Re: netctl with failover help

so I deleted all my network profiles, and started over by following the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … s_failover

steps in a nutsell
--created failover netctl profile
--created wpa_supplicant@wlo1 config
--enabled failover profile via netctl
--enabled wpa_supplicant@wlo1 config via systemctl
--created customdependency file

when I reboot, this is what I get:

$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel master bond0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlo1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 64:27:37:76:1f:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e4:11:5b:57:9a:af brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

it appears that wlo1 is not being grouped/controlled with bond0.

enp1s0 works, and when I remove the network cable the wifi does not kick in.

not sure what I'm missing, I've seen other posts where people have it working..

any ideas?

thanx
