No wifi after a fresh install… [SOLVED]

Hey,

After a new fresh install, impossible to connect to wifi! (I did the whole install through wifi)
I know that is a classic issue (many topics everywhere). I have already solved it 2 weeks ago (during another install) but this time I got stuck!

ip link

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:c9:86:14:a0:e9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp10s0
    altname enx38c98614a0e9
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 2a:e9:6d:ff:ab:dd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr a0:99:9b:17:28:01

status NetworkManager is active and running
status wpa_supplicant is active and running
status iwd disable

journalctl -f (while I connecting to wifi)

Re: No wifi after a fresh install… [SOLVED]

Since you didn't specify your hardware, I'll tell you an anecdote: Every time something like this happened to me, I was missing linux-firnware-marvell.

Did you enable "wpa_supplicant.service"?

You shouldn't. Disable it. NetworkManager will start it on it's own.

Wrong assumption (see above).

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am reformulating my words: I have not explicitly enabled  "wpa_supplicant.service", I meant it is enabled. Yes, you right, NetworkManager handle it.

Head_on_a_Stick I will make a try )

Thanks both.

Re: No wifi after a fresh install… [SOLVED]

After many hours of mess, it seems to me (I am not an expert!) that wpa_supplicant is not working properly. I've downgraded several time to different versions of wpa_supplicant, but nothing worked. I solved by following the instructions here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … Fi_backend.

iwd was already installed.

iwctl --passphrase "SECRET_WIFI_PASS" station wlan0 connect SSID

I created the file 

sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf

and written in it

[device]
wifi.backend=iwd

Then I restarted the network manager service

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Everything worked.

at that point I disabled wpa_supplicant service

sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
sudo systemctl disable wpa_supplicant

Network manager service is running managing iwd services. wpa_supplicant service is not active any more (disabled).

Re: No wifi after a fresh install… [SOLVED]

Just out of curiosity: Since your WiFi adapter has an Apple MAC - is this an Apple Notebook?

Yes, it is an old MacBook pro (retina, 13 inch, early 2015) with an archlinux distro installed on it )

can you confirm if this method also makes wifi available again after multiple suspends and wakeups?

I have created a AUR package to fix wifi issues in macbook pro 2015 13 inch at here - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/macb … inux-fixes

My current fix works flawlessly but requires downgrading to a specific wpa_supplicant version. I want to update it with your fix so I won't need to instruct a user to dowgrade wpa_supplicant at the end of AUR package installation.

Re: No wifi after a fresh install… [SOLVED]

Well, all I can say is that my wifi continues to work (for over a week) with this configuration (including power off/on, suspend and wake, hibernate) and everything works fine.
Have a look at the 2 commands bellow, just after reboot:

└─◇$ systemctl status wpa_supplicant
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA supplicant
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; disabled; preset: disabled)

wpa_supplicant 2:2.10-7

and 

└─◇$ pacman -Q | grep iw
iw 6.9-1

I hope it helps....

Thanks this helped a lot. I can confirm this solution is replicable. It worked for me too.
I'll add this to my aur package soon.
