Hello,
After a system reinstallation I do not get connected to my wifi network. During the installation I was connected to the WLan via wifi-menu.
In the past I had some problems already but could solve them by downgrading the network manager as well as the nm-applet https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=212511.
So Im pretty sure Im using the right driver - ipw2200. Because it was working before.
lspci -k
...
06:05.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2702
Kernel driver in use: ipw2200
Kernel modules: ipw2200
...I installed the network-manager in the old version 1.2.4 as well as the nm-applet. I do see (sometimes) my wifi network but I can not connect to it. It is also not possible to add a new Network with WPA2 authentification.
Then I went one step back and tried wpa_supplicant via wpa_gui using this article: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant
This was the result (in debugging mode)
wpa_supplicant -d -B -i wlp6s5 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/example.conf
wpa_supplicant v2.6

Hi there,
1. After fiddling around:
wpa_supplicant -h
...
-o = override driver parameter for new interfaces
...
2. Then go to /usr/lib/systemd/system:
[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wpa_supplicant -u -owext
if you don't have this argument add "-owext", as default is nl80211 however we need 'wext':
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use … supplicant
3. Having the service, restarted it might bring you closer to solve the problem with the error:
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
4. I'm using connman, it might work with NetworkManager as well.
