[arch-general] Status of WPA3
Hi, recently AVM provided a beta-Firmware for Fritzboxes which support WPA3. Unfortunately, our wpa_supplicant seems not be capable of WPA3: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57413 When setting explicitly WPA3 in NetworkManager, my laptop is unable to connect to my WPA2/WPA3-wifi. I assume it is caused by the missing SAE support, or do I miss something? The assumption is caused by https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/issues/9 Best Regards Bjoern

In addition to above, iwd has support for WPA3 - may be worth switching over from wpa_supp to iwd and see if it works for you (i've been using it for some time now and it's been working well, though I have no access to test WPA3 Using it with network manager is very easy to turn on - just create: cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi_backend.conf [device] wifi.backend=iwd And restart nm. Let us know if you get it working.
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately iwd has some issues in my case, like packet loss and much more higher pings. I'm testing iwd from time to time (as NM-backend) to check if it got better.
And restart nm. Let us know if you get it working.
Unfortunately it did not work - neither with iwd or with heftig's updated wpa_supplicant. wpa_supplicant says: Failed to select authenticated key management type I think rtw88 is to blame in this case, as my Thinkpad X270 used for work with intel chipset on Ubuntu 20.04 is connecting fine.

heftig has updated wpa_supplicant pkg

Yes, 2:2.9-5 is the version I've used.
More recent kernels should have 80211w for that driver which is also required. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/...

5.4.14/5.4.15 results in nl80211: send_and_recv->nl_recvmsgs failed: -33 SME: Trying to authenticate with 44:4e:6d:a2:1f:df (SSID='xyz' freq=5500 MHz and not luck :/ best regards Bjoern
hrm, do you have access to the AP? Quick google suggest the
nl_recvmsgs might not be important--- related to scanning.
You might gather up your hw/fw/kernel wpa_supplicant hostapd info and
try the linux-wireless mailing list, as these are recent changes maybe
there are still some bugs. I would include the network profile, and
the hostapd config as well, and if you are able to get some more
verbose messages that could help.... maybe mount -t debugfs none
/sys/kernel and poke around in there or look at modinfo rtw88;
/sys/module/rtw88/parameters. Does the authentication just time out,
any deauth or dissasoc disconnected messages?

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately the AP does not give any access to hostapd-logs, and afaik AVM uses some own implementation. The authentication just times out, I will ask on linux-wireless. BR Bjoern
