Wifi on old Macbook Pro: so close!

[gannett]

Yet another post about getting wifi to work on an old Macbook Pro! I am so close!

Machine: Macbook Pro mid-2015 (11,4)
Problem: all the wireless networks show up in NetworkManager, but when I click connect it keeps asking for my passphrase but doesn’t connect
Things I’ve tried:

• installing iwd and using iwctl: I stopped the NetworkManager service and started iwd service then entered iwctl. When I try to connect, it just says “operation failed” in red. I tried using the WPS button option (wsc in iwctl) but the same: as soon as I push the router button “operation failed” is displayed in iwctl
• Checking the log for iwd.service I am getting a repeated error message : Invalid HE capabilities for [mac address]
• I am guessing that there is some problem with authentication (I use WPA2-PSK for the connection).

I am frustratingly close to getting this old laptop onto the internet using Manjaro, which is otherwise running flawlessly on this 10-year old laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions to get me over the line?

[Nachlese]

Many (or at least a few) people have Manjaro running on Apple hardware.
I’m not among them …
and I don’t know whether there exist tips or howto’s here on the forum - have look.
The Arch wiki has got at least some info on some of the models.

In order to help, knowing the hardware config would certainly help:

inxi -zv8

(for the chip ID and driver information, among other things)

To see what is happening during connection attempts you could dig through the logs.
Easier may be to watch it in real time:

journalctl -f
or
sudo dmesg -w

have one of those running in a terminal while you are trying

This should tell in quite some detail what is happening and where in the process the problem is

I’d rather go back to NetworkManager and try troubleshooting with that first.

When posting terminal output, please format as “preformatted text” → this button in the edit window: </>

[jrichard326]

Regarding iwd, did you do any of the following?

systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
systemctl mask wpa_supplicant
systemctl enable iwd.service

Create the following configuration file to enable the iwd backend?:

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf

[device]
wifi.backend=iwd

Reboot

[gannett]

Thanks for the responses.

Looking at the system logs, it seems that my router doesn’t support protected management frames so that might account for the authentication failures.

I did try what user jrichard326 suggested but same issue.

I will try and get some output from inxi but I only have access to an iPad to get online.

@gannett

I will try and get some output from inxi but I only have access to an iPad to get online.

… there is USB tethereing - using the devices internet connection
works flawlessly with my Android phone - but I do not know about iPads - don’t have one
should work, though

[HowTo] Use public command-line pastebin services without installing anything!

for instance:

inxi -zv8 | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st

[gannett]

Here is the output of inxi for the network adapter:

Network:
  Device-1: Broadcom BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC vendor: Apple
    driver: brcmfmac v: kernel pcie: gen: 1 speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1
    bus-ID: 03:00.0 chip-ID: 14e4:43ba class-ID: 0280
  IF: wlan0 state: down mac: <filter>
  Info: services: NetworkManager, systemd-timesyncd, wpa_supplicant

and the system log is giving me this when I try to connect:

invalid HE capabilities for [mac address]

@gannett

and the system log is giving me this when I try to connect:

invalid HE capabilities for [mac address]

That is precious little information …

This is what happens when I connect to my WiFi router:

Mar 11 00:06:07 manjaro wpa_supplicant[809]: Note: nl80211 driver interface is not designed to be used with ap_scan=2; this can result in connection failures

This may be of interest.
Is this set to 2 on purpose?
A possible workaround would be to set ap_scan=1 in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.

I might also suggest considering iwd to replace wpa_supplicant.
I note you seem to have tried already but there are numerous errors in the above messages.
iwd does not exclude NetworkManager and they can be used together.
But whether applying the backend config or using the networkmanager-iwd AUR package, when used with NM the service should not be enabled/started.

Note:

• Do not enable iwd.service or manually configure iwd. NetworkManager will start and manage it itself.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager#Using_iwd_as_the_Wi-Fi_backend

Finally there is the possibility this is simply the result of incompatibility.

Comment #14 : Bug #1886169 : Bugs : wpasupplicant package : Ubuntu

[6x12]

• Try down-grading wpa_supplicant
• Those chips often have issues with 5GHz wifi, set to 2,4GHz
• Try different/older ‘Wifi Security’ WPA settings on router

If nothing works switch driver to wl or b43 (needs b43-firmware pkg), see ‘Internet’ section here.

My friend Tom has to use a dongle to get wifi to work. Have you tried a dongle?

[gannett]

That’s what I ended up doing. I had a $10 BT/wifi dongle I was using for my MiSTer so I tried that and it connected straight away.

I might try the suggestions of 6x12 to change the driver, but the dongle is working just fine.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Manjaro is such as great distro, and these forums are a really great place to hang out.
