Endless [Wi-fi Network Authentication Required]

[aq74i]

Sorry I don't quite understand.

Did you mean the brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt text file? I followed the instructions on a website somewhere to find the MAC address in terminal, then pasted it in, rebooted and tried the wifi but it didn't work.

[JeremyB]

Can you set the router to a fixed channel and reboot it?

[aq74i]

Sorry, I tried going through IO Data's website for instructions but couldn't find any. Also attempted writing the IP address into firefox according to some google search results, but can't seem to get access to the router settings. It might be because this is a rented place (the router is also rented and there's only one big satellite dish on top of the building)? Sorry, am not sure but I don't think I can set the router's channel.

[JeremyB]

Try reducing the TX power

Code: Select all

sudo iwconfig wlp2s0 txpower 15

[aq74i]

Sorry, it didn't work. Ran that in terminal, then rebooted and tried to connect to wifi. Wasn't sure if it would help give any useful information, but also ran the script just in case.

Try removing the existing settings for that wifi in Network Manager then add it again
And lets see if setting your country code helps

Code: Select all

sudo iw reg set JP

[grndplane]

Is your router set to allow connections or to deny connections? If it is deny, you will need to access router and allow the connections you want to make to it.

[JeremyB]

Are there any results from terminal for

Code: Select all

ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

[aq74i]

@Jeremy B

Deleted the existing wifi connection profiles, then did the country code change, but it's still not connecting.

@grndplane
I don't think I have access to check whether it allows or denies (or I just know too little. sorry am a beginner.).
However,
1. other devices (and this computer when it was running macOS) could connect to the wifi,
　　so it's probably alright on the router's end.
2. this computer currently running linux is also unable to connect to phone hotspot,
　　so it probably is an issue on this computer

[JeremyB]

Unless there is some issue you should be able to connect after

Code: Select all

sudo iwconfig wlp2s0 txpower 10dBm

If it does work, it will have to be run after every reboot

@JeremyB

I tried it several times just to make sure, but it still won't connect. Sorry, but thank you for thinking of so many ways to help.

[JeremyB]

Lets see if this is the same bug from a few years ago

Code: Select all

echo "options brcmfmac debug=0xd416"| sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/brcmfmac.conf

Reboot and post results for

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep brcm

Lets try again with

Code: Select all

Reboot and post URL for

Code: Select all

dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999

[aq74i]

https://termbin.com/lu6m

[JeremyB]

I figured out the firmware editing, I hope

Code: Select all

sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin.orig
cd /lib/firmware/brcm
sudo wget https://gitlab.com/jeremy53561/wireless-info-1/-/raw/master/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin

Reboot

[aq74i]

Sorry, the option to connect to wifi disappeared from the panel's Network Manager.

[JeremyB]

Post results for

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep brcm

Then

Code: Select all

sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin.orig  /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.bin

Reboot and it will be back to the way it was

[aq74i]

Sorry for the trouble, and thank you.

Where did you get that txt file at? This one claims to work on a 13.3 MacBook https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=285753
