Hi,
I'm using 4.18.14-arch1, and I bought a usb wireless Tp-link TL-WN821N.
I can't get an ip for wireless through dhcpcd. It outputs "sending commands to master dhcpcd process" and when I do ip link to check the interface state, is still:
Code:
wlp0s18f2u2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether e6:20:6a:fe:05:04 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The output of dmesg | grep usbcore is this:
Code:
[ 0.165989] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
[ 0.165989] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
[ 0.165989] usbcore: registered new device driver usb

[ 2.475216] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas
[ 17.042689] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8xxxu
The output of dmesg | grep firmware is this:
Code:
[ 11.138056] [drm] Found VCE firmware/feedback version 50.0.1 / 17!
[ 15.035679] usb 1-2: rtl8xxxu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_nic.bin
The output of sudo dmesg | grep rtl8xxxu is:
Code:

[ 17.069775] rtl8xxxu 1-2:1.0 wlp0s18f2u2: renamed from wlan0
ip link is:
Code:

link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

4: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 100
link/none
Content of /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=sudo
update_config=1
ap_scan=1
country=PT
network={
ssid="mynetwork"
psk="mypassword"
}
I tried to connect manually
Code:
with wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp0s18f2u2 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
, but I get the following error message:
Code:
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlp0s18f2u2 disabled_11b_rates=0
wlp0s18f2u2: Failed to initialize driver interface
I honestly can't understand this error message. I know that nl80211 is a netlink interface, but I don't know how to read the output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
