WiFi authentication failing

Post by willbproggin »

Greetings! :)

I am attempting to run the Release 23.10.1 MATE live USB on my AMD Ryzen 7000 Pro machine, and while it boots fine and even shows the available WiFi connections, every time I try to connect to our WiFi there is around a one minute wait, then the authentication entry comes up again and says my authentication failed. Yes, I am attempting to connect to the correct WiFi network and yes, I'm entering the correct WiFi password (works fine on other devices / OSs).

Here is what Linux says about my WiFi card:

Code: Select all

Network:
  Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi v: kernel pcie: gen: 2
    speed: 5 GT/s lanes: 1 bus-ID: 06:00.0 chip-ID: 8086:2723 class-ID: 0280
It would be very difficult to connect directly using Ethernet, so I need WiFi working to test GhostBSD. Any suggestions?

Thank you! :D

wpa_supplicant debug option

Manually issue the wpa_supplicant with the background Dameon option and dhclient commands
CODE: SELECT ALL

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhclient wlan0

dhclient wlan0
Use the following line for testing with the Debug and Password debug printout options
CODE: SELECT ALL

wpa_supplicant -d -K -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf x
dhclient wlan0
Problems running dhclient? Then kill the previously running dhclient.
CODE: SELECT ALL

killall dhclient

Thank you, Fred, God bless you and 73 de AF7EC! :D

I don't have GhostBSD installed on bare metal yet so I'll have to refer to your instructions while in the live session. Stuck in Linux right now for work...

Thanks again! :D
