[SOLVED ]Intel Stick stk1a32sc - Wifi Intel problem

SpX91 · 2017-12-23 05:10:54

Hi here,

I have install correctly Arch Linux on a Intel Stick stk1a32sc.

I have all function i need but i have 1 problem,

When i want to list wifi SSID, i use this command :

nmcli dev wifi list

This command return just 1 wifi SSID (IN USE) :

IN-USE  SSID       MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY
*       Trololo  Infra  36    540 Mbit/s  53      **    WPA2

##

I relaunch a scan for verify if is view another SSID and return :

IN-USE  SSID                              MODE   CHAN  RATE        SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY
        aaaaaa                         Infra  1     104 Mbit/s  100     ****  WPA2
        bbbbbbb  Infra  1     540 Mbit/s  99      ****  WPA2
        Trololo                         Infra  1     540 Mbit/s  99      ****  WPA2
        bbbbbbb  Infra  157   540 Mbit/s  77      ***   WPA2
*       Trololo                         Infra  36    540 Mbit/s  62      ***   WPA2
        bbbbbbb  Infra  36    540 Mbit/s  62      ***   WPA2
        cccccccc                     Infra  11    540 Mbit/s  55      **    WPA2
        ddddddd                           Infra  11    540 Mbit/s  50      **    WPA2
        cccccccc                     Infra  36    540 Mbit/s  25      *     WPA2
        eeeeeee                Infra  44    405 Mbit/s  15      *     WPA2
        --                                Infra  132   540 Mbit/s  15      *     WPA2
        cccccccc                     Infra  132   540 Mbit/s  12      *     WPA2

But the list is not complete, when i try same command on my Ubuntu another Intel Stick stk1a32sc I have more wifi available list

So my question....why is not list complete wifi available, and why is list just 1 i in USE withour rescan command ?

Thanks a lot,
Regards,

Please use code tags when pasting to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

And connect manually to debug your issue.

Hi thanks for help, but what do you want to say for connect manually to debug ?

First, disable Networkmanager so we can fly by hand.
Post the entire output of sudo iw dev wlo1 scan replacing wlo1 with whatever your wireless NIC is called. Find this out using the command ip link
You might want to post the output of ip link as well. Also, the output of iwphy

Two questions. Are the missing networks on a different band? (2.4GHz vs 5GHz)
Have you set your regulatory environment? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … figuration section 4.1. The missing channels could be on channels where your device is not looking if your device thinks it is in a country where those channels are not permitted.

Hi,

iw return command not found

Have just missing networks with POOR signal on 2.4 and 5Ghz band.

I have another wifi (USB) and when i try i have all signal also POOR signal.

For the regulatory environnement i have this message on dmeg :

 wlp1s0: Limiting TX power to 23 (23 - 0) dBm as advertised by 0a:3e:5d:6a:20:70

But i dont want regulatory, it's possible to disable complety this ? With the usb wifi i dont have this messge on dmesg.

Do you think the problem is the INTEL driver limiting the POOR signal and not show this ?

Thanks,

Then install it. Or scan with wpa_cli.

Ok guys.

When i launch:

sudo iw dev wlp1s0 scan

I have a complete LIST and after that when i launch:

nmcli dev wifi list

I have a complete list again too

So my question why nmcli doesnt show complete list....therfore iw ?

I have no idea how Network Manager works. It seems needlessly complex to me. But there is a distinction between scanning and just showing cached scan results. If nmcli is showing cached results without triggering a new scan, that would explain the difference. I suspect there would be a method to refresh the cache with a new scan from within nmcli, but you'd have to check the man page for that.

Ok thanks for all.

It's working now
