RPi4/Buster cannot connect to WiFi (WPA3)

Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:14 pm

I am trying to connect to my WiFi with this as my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf (this exact config file works on my x86_64 laptop btw):

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US

network={
	ssid="blast"
	sae_password="xxx"
	ieee80211w=2
	key_mgmt=SAE
}
But wlan0 never comes up. Wondering how to get more detailed debug info from the systemd services.

Code: Select all

# systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service
● wpa_supplicant.service - WPA supplicant
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2020-06-16 16:07:13 EDT; 6min ago
 Main PID: 342 (wpa_supplicant)
    Tasks: 1 (limit: 4915)
   Memory: 2.8M
   CGroup: /system.slice/wpa_supplicant.service
           └─342 /sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant

Jun 16 16:07:13 workbench systemd[1]: Starting WPA supplicant...
Jun 16 16:07:13 workbench wpa_supplicant[342]: Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
Jun 16 16:07:13 workbench systemd[1]: Started WPA supplicant.
If I stop all wpa_supplicant PIDs and manually run the command:

Code: Select all

# wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dnl80211,wext
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
wlan0: Trying to associate with SSID 'blast'
wlan0: WPA: Failed to select authenticated key management type
wlan0: WPA: Failed to set WPA key management and encryption suites
System is up-to-date:

Code: Select all

# uname -a
Linux workbench 4.19.118-v7l+ #1311 SMP Mon Apr 27 14:26:42 BST 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

Maybe this is a firmware issue, see discussion starting here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ho ... 41839.html
