Can't connect to any wifi (but all of them are detected / wired works / fresh install)

Hi, I recently installed Manjaro (dualboot with Windows 11 on the same SSD, in separate partitions). Unfortunately, there was a problem with wifi (wired works). It searches for all networks, but does not connect to them.

I’ve already tried this:

pamac install linux61-headers
pamac build rtw89-dkms-git 

But it ends up with black screen after reboot (it endlessly prints lines with audit, a few minutes later it gives flag “Failed to start Accounts Service”), so I had to reinstall Manjaro (twice).

I would appreciate tips on how to fix this without breaking the system and reinstalling again. Currently it is a fresh installation, I have not performed any steps on it from other advice from the forum.

No need for that.

FYI, that driver has been included in the kernel since 5.16 I believe. Notice it’s already installed? You may also need linux-firmware installed.

I’ve heard of issues with Wi-Fi and BlueTooth in that scenario before. I haven’t used Windows in years and try not to remember things about it, so I won’t be much help there. Something about making sure Windows is fully shut down, maybe.

Hello @skalisz :wink:

When I search for your device, the I see that the driver is include since linux 5.16. So the DKMS you mentioned is only there to serve anything older than that.

If you insist in installing the mentioned DKMS, then you need to blacklist the builtin kernel driver.

However…

Please provide more information about the process:

journalctl --boot 0 --unit NetworkManager --no-pager      

You can switch the log level on the fly to debug and info:

sudo nmcli general logging level info 
sudo nmcli general logging level debug

To follow the current process run this:

journalctl --boot 0 --unit NetworkManager --follow

It’s already installed and up to date.

Well ok, looks like the issue is the authentication process. Could you check what type of encryption method is used? WPA/WPA2/WPA3 ? Or is it even mixed? There are issues when using WPA3 mixed with WPA2, because it doesn’t follow the standards.

When you switch to debug as mentioned above and try to reconnect, there will be more information about that on the journal.

WPA & WPA2 Personal

Yepp that must be the reason. Switch to WPA2 or WPA3 only (not mixed). That works at least for me all the time. Anyway… the logs just say: wpa supplicant tries to authenticate you, but the router doesn’t like your request for what ever reason. Guessing it is a fritzbox isn’t it?

I am just guessing here… but there were some sort of feature combination which are out of the standard, which doesn’t work with wpa supplicant (which is the backend in NetworkManager).

When I switch back to Windows, it’s just WPA2 (the same wifi). A few days ago I took my laptop somewhere else and I also couldn’t connect to any wifi. Same with my mobile hotspot. So it looks like the problem is deeper :confused:

I guess you mean fast startup feature. But I’ve checked - it’s disabled.

Ok I just tested it on a laptop. I have 3 options on my router:

  • WPA & WPA 2
  • WPA2 (CCMP)
  • WPA2 & WPA3

On all 3 methods I can connect and my fritzbox is up-to-date and manjaro is on stable branch up to date.

I could imagine that your router has a bug, or the driver, or the service assume that your card has a feature, but it does not. You see, I am speculating.

The only difference between my log and yours is that you are in 5Ghz, and I am in 2.4Ghz.

Just for the record the capabilities of the card:

Please share yours also…

Check the tree:

sudo busctl tree fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1

and get the current pperties:

sudo busctl -j get-property fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/16 fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface Capabilities

(the number 16 here can differ, modify it if needed according to the tree info.)

Sorry, missed that. No, it’s TP-Link Archer.

Not sure if I share the correct piece of information. I’ve used command iw list:

I’ve got two wifis, 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz, but both of them are out of reach on Manjaro.

└─/fi
  └─/fi/w1
    └─/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1

I don’t know how to find any number like 16 in that tree :stuck_out_tongue:

legion5% sudo busctl -j get-property fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 /fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/16 fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1.Interface Capabilities

Well that makes me think…

If you get only:

Then wpa_supplicant is not running? I get the exact same output on my workstation (it has only ethernet).

Are you using iw as backend instead of wpa_supplicant? Or is iw a standalone, so that it conflicts with NetworkManager? No idea right now what is happening on your system.

Maybe your router doesnt like mac randomization on scanning:

echo -e "[device]\nwifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/no-random-mac.conf
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Obvious this feature provides privacy in the public. It fakes the mac address when it scans for networks, so that you cannot be tracked.

Nothing changed, sadly.

I have no idea, it’s just fresh install of Manjaro with GNOME DE :stuck_out_tongue:
But I was trying to check this out:

I guess that’s the direction I want to follow.

That is normal.
NetworkManager will use wpa_supplicant - no configuration of it needed

also normal
unless you explicitly want to use iwd

then you also don’t configure that
but tell NetworkManager to use it instead of wpa_supplicant

I’ll post some updates, so the thread won’t be locked up after 2 days automatically.
Nothing’s helped, so I went back to wpa_supplicant.

In the meantime I also find that other people had similiar problem on dualboot with Windows, but there were only 2 solutions that helped them on the Windows side:

  1. turning off fast startup feature
  2. turning on lan (wol) feature

Unfortunately neither of them works.

Hello everybody.

This may sound absurd, but have you tried kernel 5.15?

I said that because a few days ago I had a problem when closing the laptop and I did have kernel 6.1. Now I use kernel 5.15 without problems.

The same problem still occurs :frowning: The only difference was there were no drivers, so I had to use pamac build rtw89-dkms-git.

Thanks everyone for your help, appreciate a lot your dedication (especially yours @megavolt). I’ll probably try out another distro and maybe will come back to the Manjaro alongside new kernel version.

The same problem happens on Fedora. The issue is firmware which doesn’t load. But I don’t know why. Usually it’s because of windows fast startup feature, but I’ve disabled it at the beggining.

What firmware doesn’t load and how do you know that? :thinking:

I finally found a solution. The problem was hardware. For some reason, one of the wires was not connected to the network card. This was probably the case from the beginning (the laptop was bought new, unused). This is strange because in theory wifi should not have worked at all before, even on Windows.

Anyway, everything is now working flawlessly.
