Unable to connect to wifi network in live session

Hi! First of all, thanks for Netrunner and Maui (the latter is the distro I currently use).

I would like to switch to Netrunner Desktop, because I like very much Debian (which I used before), and the idea of having a rolling distro.

But when I try Netrunner Desktop I am unable to connect to my wifi. I have two wifi sticks, one with chipset Atheros (module ath9k), and the other with Ralink (module rt73usb), but none of them works. In konsole I made “sudo modprobe -v ath9k”, and “sudo modprobe -v rt73usb”, without success.

When I read that Netrunner Destop 17.01.2 was released including some additional firmware, I downloaded the iso, but the issue still persists.

With Maui everything worked like a charm (well, maybe I had to do “sudo modprobe ath9k”, not sure now), so it was a big surprise to have this trouble with Netrunner.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Is the “firmware-atheros” package installed on your system?

Linux Netrunner Desktop 17.02 wifi issues

As you can see in the video screencast of a live session, firmware-atheros is shown with a green mark in synaptic, I have made a “sudo modprobe -v ath9k”, my wifi network (ONO_7B) is properly configured, but still I cannot make the connection.

Indeed, I think it is strange that several wifi networks were detected, so I thought that the device was recognized and worked well, but at the end it wasn’t.

If you need more information, please ask for it.

Is the network really configured correctly? Did you get a valid ip address from the access point / router when connecting from another device?

Which atheros chip do you have ? (You can check with the terminal command inxi -v 2)

Also can you show the output of sudo dmesg right after you tried connecting to your wifi.

Please use quote or code tags for this output when posting to this forum :slight_smile:

Yes. In fact, right now I’m writing from the same PC, which has Maui installed. A laptop, dual boot Windows 7/Maui, has no trouble, as well as 2 smartphones with Android 5.

A second laptop (with Sparky Linux, a Debian Testing based distro), showed the same behaviour that Netrunner Desktop for a while, but the problem disappeared when I upgraded via ethernet. With this fact in mind, I have downloaded network-manager_1.4.4-1_amd64 and wpasupplicant_2.5-2+v2.4-3+b1_amd64 from Debian Testing repos, in case the issue were a bug in one of those two packages, and installed them in the live session of Netrunner Desktop, without success.

Which atheros chip do you have ? (You can check with the terminal command [color=#3366cc]inxi -v 2[/color])

Thanks for your time and interest.

From the laptop with dual boot Windows7/Maui I mentioned earlier, I try Netrunner Desktop Live session, and connect with wifi easily.

As you can see, the wifi card uses driver ath9k, and in this case it works perfectly. But when it is a wifi usb [ath9k_htc], the problem remains, even when I did

sudo modprobe -v ath9k

and

sudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc

I wish this information is helpful. I confess that I’m very confused right now.

I will try to install firmware-atheros from sid in a live session in the PC with the wifi usb to see what happens.

It might be a limitation coming from an older wireless package or this particular hardware in cooperation with the driver. Though I am not sure.
What you could try is disabling hardware crypto support.
To do this create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k_htc.conf with root rights (sudo) with the contents

options ath9k_htc nohwcrypt=1
Save the file and reboot.

I hope that this will fix the issue with your Wifi and that particular card.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I use this computer to do part of my daily work, so I’m reluctant to install a distro that may not function in such fundamental task.

In fact, I’m writing this post from the very same PC, in Maui Live session to verify what happens, and I can connect to my wifi with no trouble at all. So I think the issue is a bug in some package. Maybe the network-manager, because a friend of mine had a similar problem with Lubuntu 17.10, which of course doesn’t use plasma-nm, in his laptop; sadly, I don’t remember what wifi card was involved in his case.

All in all, I’ll probably wait for the next Netrunner Desktop iso to try again.

Very grateful for your time and kind interest.

Is the Atheros AR9271 not a usb dongle?
Have you tried unpluging it from the computer, booting the live session, and then pluging it in afterwords?

Right now. Not success either.

As I’ve said, I think is a bug in Debian, because the same computer and wifi usb stick works out of the box in Maui Linux. Maybe I’ll do another try with Sparky Linux KDE, which is Debian Testing based as well, to see what happens.

Writing this post from a live session in Sparky Linux (Debian Testing based). Packages versions are:

[/code]

No trouble at all to connect with my wifi network, using the same computer an wifi usb stick. Besides, there is no any file under /etc/modprobe.d with a special configuration for ath9k_htc.

I hope this information would help you to improve Netrunner Desktop.

Hello again.

The issue described at the beginning of this thread was present as well in Netrunner 17.06 and 17.10, but recently I did a new search in the internet to look for a solution, and I found one that worked in my case.

Sources I’ve found reporting the issue and the solution:

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=134322

https://askubuntu.com/questions/902992/ubuntu-gnome-17-04-wi-fi-not-working-mac-address-keeps-changing/905019#905019

https://linuxsuperuser.com/unable-connect-wifi-debian-and-ubuntu/

In short, it seems that wifi unable to connect is due to the new privacy feature (MAC address randomization) in the new version of NetworkManager causing some wi-fi adaptors to stop working.

The solution that worked

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/disable-random-mac.conf

In this file, I had to write

[device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

and then, restart the NetworkManager

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Hope this information is useful to someone else :rolleyes:

I ask some administrator to mark this thread as “Solved”, because I don’t know how to do it myself
