ODP: cannot connect rtl8192fs to wireless network using NetworkManager with wpa_supplicant




Hi Beniamino,
thx for your quick response, I'll try to pass these NM parameters, as you suggested and see if it works. Btw. they do differ than these from wpa_supplicant, so maybe there is the problem. I will keep you inform.

Best regards
Piotr

Yes, NetworkManager passes its own configuration to wpa_supplicant via
D-Bus. You should be able to see the configuration in NM logs; on my
machine for example I see:

 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'ssid' value 'home'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'scan_ssid' value '1'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'bgscan' value 'simple:30:-70:86400'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'key_mgmt' value 'WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256 FT-PSK'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'auth_alg' value 'OPEN'
 NetworkManager[1645]: <info>  [1611663864.0215] Config: added 'psk' value '<hidden>'

You could try to see if the same configuration works with
wpa_supplicant alone.

Regarding iwpriv parameters, NM doesn't support them. But if you set
them manually before connecting with NM, I guess they should work.
