Android connecting to Ephemeral Network but iPhone not connecting?

Open Ultraviolet93 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Scans on android devices are working well, just tried an iPhone and it fails to connect to Ephemeral Network.

I've checked the wifi in terminal : iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|cipher|chan'

The only difference between SSIDs the iPhone connect to and those it can't ( ie Spyguard hotspot) is Spyguard has TKIP security enabled .

To test this theory can I set up the Spyguard emphemeral networks to drop the TKIP protocol ?

I've checked backend options but cant see its an option to change it or in the config.yaml file.

(This install of Spyguard is running on Linux Mint 21.3 Distro - which has installed without any problems apart from the issue with the iPhone connection issue).

Tried the suggestion made by ruggdoll - https://github.com/SpyGuard/SpyGuard/issues/10#issuecomment-1752041829

This worked for me I still have the ' nl80211 driver interface is not designed' error but I can now scan Android and iPhones.

( This currently working with Atheros AR9485 onboard wifi and Asustek Realtek 8188EU N10 Nano USB. I still have an issue with the wifi showing as disconnected in the GUI but it is clearly working.

Will try and get hold of a RT8852 usb adapter - although struggling to find one with 8852 chipset - plenty of RTL8812 might try only of those and see how it goes.

I'll have a look at it in the next few days and then answer you here.
