This bug affects me tested on two different adaptors /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlxd037453da72a.conf -iwlxd037453da72a -Dwext will work for me lsusb reports 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter however running /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlxd037453da72a.conf -iwlxd037453da72a -Dnl80211 will not work same with /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlxd037453da72a.conf -iwlxd037453da72a which appears to corrospond with how netplan is attempting to initialise the usb adapter this option works for one adaptor that does not use nl80211 drivers
my other device will work regardless /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlx00198611c22e.conf -iwlx00198611c22e /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlx00198611c22e.conf -iwlx00198611c22e -Dnl80211 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /run/netplan/wpa-wlx00198611c22e.conf -iwlx00198611c22e -Dwext lsusb reports 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192EU 802.11b/g/n WLAN Adapter It appears that there is a problem with the way wpa_supplicant/kernel drivers are detecting hardware, I agree with Steve Langasek in that it is unclear why the -D should be used to resolve this issue wext is deprecated and is replaced by nl80211 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814012 Title: netplan type wifis needs a device option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1814012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
