[SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Hi all,

since March 2022 I could not update netctl.

If I did update my laptop won't connect to my wifi anymore.
Downgrading to Version 1.27 lets me connect.

The service seems to be runnig normally

root@laptop ~# systemctl status netctl-auto@wlan0
● netctl-auto@wlan0.service - Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/netctl-auto@.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

...
Jan 19 21:53:28 laptop systemd[1]: Started Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles.

If I try to connect manually it just gives me this generic error:

root@laptop ~# netctl-auto switch-to whome
WPA association/authentication failed for interface 'wlan0'

I am at my wits end.

~edit~
This problem has been solved.

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Is it *only* netctl that you're not updating?
Stop all netctl services, can you still connect w/ wifi-menu (ie. not using netctl-auto)?

The only other package i'm not updating is ttf-inconsolata.

With the new version it connects for a brief moment, then disconnects and fails.

If I downgrade netctl it works again.

https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/net … NVIRONMENT
Enable debug output and check the system journal for what's going on.
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … type=HEADS looks boring but apparently it's not wpa_supplicant nor dhcpcd that's causing the disconnect…

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.
The log just says that you associated and then voluntarily disconnected, but I don't think that "NETCTL_DEBUG=yes" was exported to netctl and in any event that would not show up as a kernel message.

Sorry, I edited the post.


For the debug flag I created a file in /etc/profile.d/

root@laptop ~# touch /etc/profile.d/netctl.sh

and just added this and made is executable:

root@laptop ~# cat /etc/profile.d/netctl.sh 
#!/bin/bash

export NETCTL_DEBUG=yes

When I test it after a reboot it seems to work.

root@laptop ~# echo $NETCTL_DEBUG
yes

Then I use journalctl

journalctl -b

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Ok, but the idea was to *not* use the netctl-auto.target here.

As for the auto part:

It first seems to want to switch from 8d:dc to 8d:db and then keeps deauthenticating from 8d:dc - there's probably something "irritating" about the signal quality of those two APs. What are they?
Same band (2.4/5GHz) or same AP on different bands?

Ok, but the idea was to *not* use the netctl-auto.target here.

As for the auto part:

It first seems to want to switch from 8d:dc to 8d:db and then keeps deauthenticating from 8d:dc - there's probably something "irritating" about the signal quality of those two APs. What are they?
Same band (2.4/5GHz) or same AP on different bands?

Oh then I misunderstood.

These are my APs.  One in the living room and one other in the kitchen. They are connected through cable.
Both APs are dual Band. (2.4 and 5 GHz)

For testing I unplugged one AP completely  and disabled the 5GHz Band on the other. But it still didn't work. It just kept disconnecting.

Then I used 

systemctl stop netctl-auto@wlan0.service
netctl start whome

to not use netctl-auto and got this

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

The iwlwifi module collapses under pressure after the client tried to end packages to a non-connected STA (likely race condition because of the heavy flicker)
But don't re-use the existing profile, connect w/ wifi-menu (you don't even have to store that connection)

The only tow changes between the last two releases were https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 20d5c19fb5 (and I don't assume this to be a PPPoE connection and you probably don't even have ppp installed?) and https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … 78aff178ae
The latter one is a shell script, you could try to update but restore the version of /usr/lib/netctl/globals from the older release - do you use fish or OMZ or something like that?

I deleted the wifi profile and backed up the globals file.

Then I updated and restored the globals file.

First I tried it with wifi-menu. It created a new profile, but it couldn't connect.
Same with netctl.

journalctl shows the same errors, it just connects for a brief moment then instantly disconnects.

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Did you also try to replace the /usr/lib/netctl/globals script with the previous version?
(If we can pin it on that commit, it should be easy enough to debug the script)

Yes, I have replaced the new Version with the old one.

But it regrettably changed nothing.

I switch between Version  1.27 and 1.29. Is there a way to get my hands on Version 1.28? Maybe this will help further in finding the error.

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Ok, that explains a lot…
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/netctl/

Edit: the only change is btw https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … bd08ce6e3f
The critical file is going to be /usr/lib/netctl/wpa, try to add "WPA-PSK-SHA256" to the key_mgmt list

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

The first test would be to restore the previous file to see whether it's the cause.
Then try

        echo "key_mgmt=WPA-PSK-SHA256"
        echo "ieee80211w=2"

Okay, so updating to Version 1.29 and using the /usr/lib/netctl/wpa from Version 1.27 did the trick.

But I'm still struggling understanding what the issue was, and why it seems nobody else was affected.

Anyway, thank you very much for bearing with me and helping me so competently.

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

Your AP doesn't like something about that configuration.
You might have to manually connect w/ the debug flag enabled to see what specifically*

But it would seem that the AP doesn't support WPA2?? (Is it really old?)
For a quick test, just add the

echo "proto=RSN WPA"

line to the 1.29 version - you'd have to file a bug against https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/netctl/-/issues - not sure what the response is gonna be hmm

The APs are not that old. My Router, a FritzBox 7530 AX came out at the end of 2020, and my Repeater at the end of 2021. They even support wpa3.

I added the 

echo "proto=RSN WPA"

to the /usr/lib/netctl/wpa conf for netctl. But it didn't connect again.

I am not sure if I would be helping with a bug report as I am not able to generate a proper debug output for netctl.

Re: [SOLVED] Newer Versions of netctl won't connect to wifi

wlan0: WPA: using KEY_MGMT WPA-PSK

I am not sure if I would be helping with a bug report as I am not able to generate a proper debug output for netctl.

We'll just crouch ourselves to a functional state and advertise that

Try 

echo "key_mgmt=WPA-PSK"
echo "ieee80211w=2"

resp (the canonical mixed mode suggestion, SAE doesn't work w/ psk anyway; see #20)

echo "key_mgmt=WPA-PSK-SHA256"
echo "ieee80211w=2"

Sorry for the late reply.

I tested both, but they did not work.
