Hi again Beniamino,
i have verified these parameters as you asked. These are the parameters which i
can see in NEtworkManager:
Jan 28 18:12:48 px30-64 NetworkManager[365]: <info> [1611857568.4335] Config:
added 'ssid' value 'beherith'
Jan 28 18:12:48 px30-64 NetworkManager[365]: <info> [1611857568.4337] Config:
added 'scan_ssid' value '1'
Jan 28 18:12:48 px30-64 NetworkManager[365]: <info> [1611857568.4338] Config:
added 'bgscan' value 'simple:30:-70:86400'
Jan 28 18:12:48 px30-64 NetworkManager[365]: <info> [1611857568.4340] Config:
added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK'
Jan 28 18:12:48 px30-64 NetworkManager[365]: <info> [1611857568.4341] Config:
added 'psk' value '<hidden>'
I have made a wpa_supplicant.conf file which looks like this:
root@px30-64:~# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
update_config=1
network={
ssid="my_wifi"
scan_ssid=1
bgscan="simple:30:-70:86400"
psk="my_secret_password"
key_mgmt="WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK"
}
And wpa_supplicant returned me this:
root@px30-64:~# wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf &
[1] 529
root@px30-64:~# Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
wlan0: Trying to associate with ec:08:6b:e7:f3:40 (SSID='my_wifi' freq=2462 MHz)
Failed to add supported operating classes IE
wlan0: Association request to the driver failed
wlan0: Associated with ec:08:6b:e7:f3:40
wlan0: WPA: Key negotiation completed with ec:08:6b:e7:f3:40 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP]
wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to ec:08:6b:e7:f3:40 completed [id=0
id_str=]
bgscan simple: Failed to enable signal strength monitoring
WEXT: SIOCGIWSTATS: Operation not supported
So i commented it and started again wifi, which has worked for me. Now the
question is how can i turn bgscan off using NetworkManager ?

with wpa_supplicant
Hi Beniamino,
thx for your quick response, I'll try to pass these NM parameters, as you
suggested and see if it works. Btw. they do differ than these from
wpa_supplicant, so maybe there is the problem. I will keep you inform.
Best regards
Piotr

Yes, NetworkManager passes its own configuration to wpa_supplicant via
D-Bus. You should be able to see the configuration in NM logs; on my
machine for example I see:
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'ssid' value
'home'
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'scan_ssid'
value '1'
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'bgscan' value
'simple:30:-70:86400'
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'key_mgmt' value
'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK'
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'auth_alg' value
'OPEN'
NetworkManager[1645]: <info> [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'psk' value
'<hidden>'
You could try to see if the same configuration works with
wpa_supplicant alone.
Regarding iwpriv parameters, NM doesn't support them. But if you set
them manually before connecting with NM, I guess they should work.
