[Solved] Wifi dont set up : "Failed to enable P2P Device interface"

Hackedia · 2016-05-26 08:20:35

Hello everyone !

Im installing Archlinux and try to set up my wifi, but my interface dont want to set UP !
I dont know why but there is a conflict with p2p :

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp4s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlp4s0.conf

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Could not read interface p2p-dev-wlp4s0 flags: No such device
nl80211: Could not set interface 'p2p-dev-wlp4s0' UP
nl80211: deinit ifname=p2p-dev-wlp4s0 disabled_11b_rates=0
p2p-dev-wlp4s0: Failed to initialize device interface
P2P: Failed to enable P2P Device interface

Nothing is noticed in the archlinux's wiki's installation,
I dont found any solution on internet working for me,
I dont know what to do ! Hmm...

Someone have an idea (even a little ^^) about that ?
Anyway, have a good day !

Can you please post the output of:
lspci -nn
ip link
and the contents of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlp4s0.conf with any passphrases redacted.

That all looks rational. I am puzzled from where it is getting the P2P. Can you now post the output of systemctl list-unit-files --type=service | grep enabled

Hackedia · 2016-05-27 16:30:17

Thanks for your help,

Here is the output of systemctl :

autovt@.service                             enabled 
dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service       enabled 
dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service enabled 
dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service  enabled 
display-manager.service                     enabled 
gdm.service                                 enabled 
getty@.service                              enabled 
NetworkManager-dispatcher.service           enabled 
NetworkManager.service                      enabled 
systemd-networkd.service                    enabled 
wpa_supplicant@.service                     enabled

If it can help you, when i plug the ethernet cable (because ethernet work), sometimes i can see the wifi interface up, but in many case he is down, i dont know why, but is the actually DORMANT mode of the wifi interface normal ?

Thanks for all !

ewaller · 2016-05-27 17:31:06

Ah. You are using two different, mutually exclusive tools. Did you want to use NetworkManager or systemd-networkd?

If NetworkManager, stop and disable systemd-networkd.service and wpa_supplicant@.service.

If systemd-networkd, stop and disable NetworkManager.service and NetworkManager-dispatcher.service and enable and start systemd-resolved.service

Hackedia · 2016-05-30 10:09:01

I heard about that in a forum, that why i disable networkmanager, but apparently, he is still here ^^.
Is that a pacman -R not enough ?
Anyway "systemctl disable" work ^^.

I think i'll use systemd-networkd, unless you advise me the other !

Thanks for all ewaller !

Glad it is worked out. I actually use systemd-networkd on my own systems and I highly recommend it.

Hackedia · 2016-08-30 14:15:06

Hi !

I came back from vacations, and my internet dont work at all,
Both wifi and ethernet interface dont work !

Ip link show me that my ethernet interface is up but my wifi is down, and a "ping 8.8.8.8" dont work (Network is unreachable)
However, it worked before, but now nothing work, i checked everything, nothing apperently change, i really dont know where to look

I found nothing on google !
And now im back to the starting point ^^"

Did something like that already happened to someone ?

Have you an IP address? What are the output of ip addr ?

Thanks for helping me again

As i dont have neither usb nor internet, i'll write the outup by myself ^^" (from old output)

So i create udev and iftab files, run dhcpcd for my both interface,
It work for my ethernet interface, but not for my wifi interface because he is not up (no carrier), and he dont want to stand up at all ^^"
(I only use wifi cause there is no ethernet plug in in my school)

Do you have any idea about it ?
