Using Artix Linux, after an update that included: iproute2 (6.9.0-2 -> 6.10.0-2) wpa_supplicant (2:2.10-8 -> 2:2.11-2) the wifi at home a distance away from the router wouldn't connect. At work located next to the router it did connect but there was one time it seemed a bit slow, at home again it didn't work but finally connected after a couple of tries. Mostly it won't connect though. It requires both wpa_supplicant and iproute2 to be downgraded to fix this, not just one or the other, then it works fine with all other packages at their latest version. Installing wpa_supplicant-git and iproute2-git from the AUR gave the same result, and using dhcpcd instead of dhclient didn't help. There have been other reports of problems with this new version in the Arch Linux forums, although not identical: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298079 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298171 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298039 This is using a Dell E7470 with an Intel Wireless 8260 internal card, driver: iwlwifi It still seems to work but perhaps it stays in low power mode when attempting to connect or something? The same problem is also found on a Dell M4500 with both network cards, a Qualcomm Atheros AR9287 internal card, driver: ath9k and Belkin PCMCIA card, Ralink RT2760 driver: rt2800pci Wifi on script: #!/bin/bash ip link set wlan0 up wpa_supplicant -B -P /run/wpa_supplicant_wlan0.pid -i wlan0 -D nl80211,wext \ -c /pathto/my_wpa_supplicant.conf dhclient -v -cf /pathto/dhclient.conf wlan0 #or using dhcpcd: #dhcpcd -4 -t 0 -K wlan0 $ uname -r 6.10.3-zen1-2-zen _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
