I've searched far and wide, and yet I haven't been able to get my WLAN to work. It did work out of the box with opensuse, so I'm sure there must be a way.
I believe the problem boils down to wpa_supplicant's reply after trying to initialise it:
Code: Select all
wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa/supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
I tried changing the wpa_supplicant driver from wext to nl80211, but to no avail.
I tried adding missing firmware files from the kvalo repository, but it didn't help either.
wpa log: http://termbin.com/0cvbk
wpa log with nl80211: http://termbin.com/bgiia
dmesg, wpa_supplicant.conf, and simply errors: http://termbin.com/755b
I am on debian buster, with the latest firmware-atheros and wireless-tools installed.
What else can I try?
