[obsolete] problem with wpa_supplicant-2

Recently wpa_supplicant was upgraded to version 2.0-1. After a reboot it couldn't connect to my wifi.
I couldn't see what the problem was, so I re-installed version 1.0-2 and it works fine.

Now I have to hold back on an update to libnl because wpa_supplicant needs libnl.so-200, and the current is so-201.

I'm using the rtl8192cu module and wpa_supplicant-nl80211@wlan0.service

/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:

country=DK
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
  proto=WPA
  priority=1
  scan_ssid=1
  ssid="myssid"
  psk=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  mode=0
}

Do I need to change something to make it work with wpa_supplicant-2.0-2 ?

Re: [obsolete] problem with wpa_supplicant-2

Just to make sure, have you tried using wpa_supplicant 2.0 manually?


I laugh, yet the joke is on me

One of the changes is in the 4-Way Handshake. The psk is unchanged. I even tried to generate it with the new version of wpa_passphrase, which didn't change anything.

Re: [obsolete] problem with wpa_supplicant-2

Hi Leo,

could you try the driver flag -Dnl80211 - i hope this will give a known reason code, look here for reference:
http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap … 21816.html Reason=0 means "no information given", or really that the driver didn't pass up enough information for the supplicant to give you a reason code. Looks like only the nl80211 driver actually has the *capability* to provide reason codes,

reason code meaning: http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap … 13218.html

edit:/ oooh and even try -dd flag for more verbose output and upload to some nopaste service.

Re: [obsolete] problem with wpa_supplicant-2

Hi debijan
I just did a quick update, and tried with flag -Dnl80211.
The results seems almost identical. The different lines are:

wlan0: SME: Trying to authenticate with 00:24:8c:31:74:66 (SSID='C9v7xH3s' freq=2462 MHz)
---
wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:24:8c:31:74:66 reason=15

What is "reason 15"? The list you gave a link to only have reasons 0 - 9.

When I have time, I'll try with debug, and post a link.

Log here, on DropBox:  wpa.log.

What are the alternatives, if I want the wlan connection initialized on upstart?

Re: [obsolete] problem with wpa_supplicant-2

I updated wpa_supplicant today, because of the /usr/bin move. I don't know why, but this time it worked. I've tried numerous times without success in the last three months.
