Troubles with wpa_supplicant

Having set up Arch linux (Antergos), now trying to use WPS push button on my local wlan (wlan repeater).

wlo1 is ok, but when trying to use wpa_gui, I normally get the message: "Can't connect to wpa_supplicant". Edited the wpa_supplicant file, restarted wpa_supplicant: -D option does not work for "ath9k", using "wext" or "nl80211", giving me the following.

Code:

sudo wpa_supplicant -D nl80211 -i wlo1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf    

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

wlo1: SME: Trying to authenticate with 1c:a5:32:e5:48:bd (SSID='vanbreukelingen' freq=2412 MHz)

wlo1: Trying to associate with 1c:a5:32:e5:48:bd (SSID='vanbreukelingen' freq=2412 MHz)

wlo1: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=1c:a5:32:e5:48:bd status_code=18

wlo1: SME: Deauth request to the driver failed

At least I can successfully start wpa_gui, can push the button and AP mode is ok. But wlo1 is not working anymore, connecting with NetworkManager - is connecting, but the wifi sign doesn't show on devices. With Ubuntu 17.04 it worked well without troubles.

Any hints?

Error 18 is Cross-device link :-o.

How many wifi devices have you? What happens if you invoke wpa_supplicant with no -D option?

It's status code 18.

Edit:

Code:

wlo1: CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT bssid=1c:a5:32:e5:48:bd status_code=18

What's that?

Try ps -aux|grep wpa_supp then kill that pid.

I configured it via web browser! WPS is insecure anyway. There are10devices on that Router.
