This refers to a fresh install of Fedora 30 (Xfce spin) on a laptop that was previously running F25 with no problems. Install took place using a hardwire connection. After install, /etc/hosts was updated and the wifi using the GUI Using the instructions in https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/09/18/connect-to-wifi-network-from-command-line-in-linux/ here's what I have. I've verified that the MAC address of the router is correct. The password supplied is the network password. Suggestions for further diagnostics and/or a fix will be greatly appreciated. # iw dev phy#0 Unnamed/non-netdev interface wdev 0x2 addr a0:a8:cd:ed:9a:09 type P2P-device txpower 0.00 dBm Interface wlp3s0 ifindex 3 wdev 0x1 addr 2e:f0:d8:c5:1e:3e type managed txpower 0.00 dBm # ip link set wlp3s0 up # iw wlp3s0 scan BSS e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f(on wlp3s0) last seen: 297.765s [boottime] TSF: 10805719880 usec (0d, 03:00:05) freq: 5765 beacon interval: 100 TUs capability: ESS Privacy RadioMeasure (0x1011) signal: -25.00 dBm last seen: 354 ms ago Information elements from Probe Response frame: SSID: NETGEAR78 Supported rates: 6.0* 9.0 12.0* 18.0 24.0* 36.0 48.0 54.0 RSN: * Version: 1 * Group cipher: CCMP * Pairwise ciphers: CCMP * Authentication suites: PSK * Capabilities: 16-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x000c) BSS Load: * station count: 0 * channel utilisation: 0/255 * available admission capacity: 0 [*32us] HT capabilities: Capabilities: 0x9ef RX LDPC HT20/HT40 SM Power Save disabled RX HT20 SGI RX HT40 SGI TX STBC RX STBC 1-stream Max AMSDU length: 7935 bytes No DSSS/CCK HT40 Maximum RX AMPDU length 65535 bytes (exponent: 0x003) Minimum RX AMPDU time spacing: 4 usec (0x05) HT RX MCS rate indexes supported: 0-23 HT TX MCS rate indexes are undefined HT operation: * primary channel: 153 * secondary channel offset: below * STA channel width: any * RIFS: 1 * HT protection: no * non-GF present: 0 * OBSS non-GF present: 0 * dual beacon: 0 * dual CTS protection: 0 * STBC beacon: 0 * L-SIG TXOP Prot: 0 * PCO active: 0 * PCO phase: 0 Extended capabilities: * Extended Channel Switching * BSS Transition * Operating Mode Notification * Max Number Of MSDUs In A-MSDU is unlimited VHT capabilities: VHT Capabilities (0x0f8259b2): Max MPDU length: 11454 Supported Channel Width: neither 160 nor 80+80 RX LDPC short GI (80 MHz) TX STBC SU Beamformer SU Beamformee VHT RX MCS set: 1 streams: MCS 0-9 2 streams: MCS 0-9 3 streams: MCS 0-9 4 streams: not supported 5 streams: not supported 6 streams: not supported 7 streams: not supported 8 streams: not supported VHT RX highest supported: 0 Mbps VHT TX MCS set: 1 streams: MCS 0-9 2 streams: MCS 0-9 3 streams: MCS 0-9 4 streams: not supported 5 streams: not supported 6 streams: not supported 7 streams: not supported 8 streams: not supported VHT TX highest supported: 0 Mbps VHT operation: * channel width: 1 (80 MHz) * center freq segment 1: 155 * center freq segment 2: 0 * VHT basic MCS set: 0x0000 WPS: * Version: 1.0 * Wi-Fi Protected Setup State: 2 (Configured) * Response Type: 3 (AP) * UUID: daefb3b6-e5b1-95e3-b129-6eff7b6db709 * Manufacturer: NETGEAR, Inc. * Model: R7000 * Model Number: R7000 * Serial Number: 32 * Primary Device Type: 6-0050f204-1 * Device name: R7000 * Config methods: Display * RF Bands: 0x3 * Unknown TLV (0x1049, 6 bytes): 00 37 2a 00 01 20 WMM: * Parameter version 1 * u-APSD * BE: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 3 * BK: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 7 * VI: CW 7-15, AIFSN 2, TXOP 6016 usec * VO: CW 3-7, AIFSN 2, TXOP 3264 usec # wpa_passphrase NETGEAR78 >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf xxxxxxxxxxxx # wpa_supplicant -i wlp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant nl80211: Could not set interface 'p2p-dev-wlp3s0' UP nl80211: deinit ifname=p2p-dev-wlp3s0 disabled_11b_rates=0 p2p-dev-wlp3s0: Failed to initialize driver interface P2P: Failed to enable P2P Device interface wlp3s0: SME: Trying to authenticate with e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f (SSID='NETGEAR78' freq=5765 MHz) wlp3s0: Trying to associate with e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f (SSID='NETGEAR78' freq=5765 MHz) wlp3s0: Associated with e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-SUBNET-STATUS-UPDATE status=0 wlp3s0: WPA: Key negotiation completed with e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f completed [id=0 id_str=] wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=e4:f4:c6:14:f9:1f reason=3 locally_generated=1 nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp3s0 disabled_11b_rates=0 wlp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING ^C _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
