4-way handshake fails most of the time (Asus USB-AC53 Nano)

Open nmggithub opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Ok, so I originally tried a driver for my device and it worked very well. Then it stopped working, so I looked for another driver. I came across several, but I am using this as it appears to be the best maintained. When connecting to password protected WiFi networks, the 4-way handshake ends up failing as messages 1 and 2 simply repeat back and forth until there is a timeout. This is confirmed via Wireshark.

This seems the old bug of not having the correct driver/kernel. What kernel are you? I have the same asus dongle and works perfect

I am on kernel 4.19.0-8-amd64. What version should I be on?

Hmm I don't know how to answer that. Is there a special reason not to go to kernel 5.6.x ? What flavor do you have?

I'm on Debian, and going up to 5.6 would require going on an unstable branch. I think I'm going to try it though.

Wait, it appears Debian doesn't even support that kernel yet. I might go with Arch. EDIT: It does, but at the very far edge of unstable.
