Hi
I have been attempting to configure wireless manually from the command line
on my Thinkpad 400, but have been unable to get a connection. I am using
Trisquel 8.0 which I believe is based on Debian:
$ uname -a
Linux technoethical-t400s-b9d0 4.19.0-gnu #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 06:05:01 PDT 2018
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Trisquel GNU/Linux"
VERSION="8.0, Flidas"
ID=trisquel
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Trisquel GNU/Linux Flidas (8.0)"
VERSION_ID="8.0"
HOME_URL="https://trisquel.info/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://trisquel.info/wiki";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://trisquel.info/project/issues";
I am using the following commands to configure:
# disable NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManager
#kill existing wpa_supp
ps -ef | grep wpa
pid=`ps -ef | grep wpa | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -s SIGQUIT "${pid}"
#check interfaces and find wireles device name
$ iw dev | grep Interface
Interface wlp2s0
#check device is up
$ ip link show wlp2s0 | grep UP
#if not bring it up
$ ip link set wlp2s0 up
# backup config file
$ cp /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.bu
# check ssid can be scanned
$ iw wlp2s0 scan | grep lcwire
SSID: lcwire
# create wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_passphrase lcwire [passphrase] > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# check driver
$ lsmod | grep 9k

$ wpa_supplicant
....
drivers:
nl80211 = Linux nl80211/cfg80211
wext = Linux wireless extensions (generic)
wired = Wired Ethernet driver
none = no driver (RADIUS server/WPS ER)
....
# run wpa_supplicant
wpa_supplicant -B -D nl80211 -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d
After doing this the syslog seem to indicate theat the conneciton is
contiually being deauthenticated.
I have attached files with output from journalctl (syslog.txt) and the debug
output from wpa_supplicant.
I have a machine with fedora on it where I do a similar set of commands
(different driver - use-D ext) and it connects fine.
If I use NetworkManager (which came enabled when I got the system) it also
connects fine, though for some reason I have to reboot after powerup for it
to work.
Other Notes:
1./
ifconfig gives me the following:

Not sure where wlp2s0:avahi comes from - I do not see this on my fedora
machine or when I use NetworkManager to bring it up, only the interface with
the locally configured ipaddress received from the router.
hen the interface is working after rebooting with NetworkManager enabled

Has anyone any idea why I am seeing the deauthentication ?
Does anyone know what the wlp2s0:avahi interface is ? - It seems to have a
random (external?) ip addess assigned.

Can anyone see/is able to guess what might be wrong with the configuration ?
Has anyone any idea why I am seeing the deauthentication ?
Does anyone know how I can get information from NetworkManager - config
files, logs etc. to see if I can tell what it is doing differently ?
Does anyone know what the wlp2s0:avahi interface is and why it is generated ?
