The issue resides in iwd (not driver code) and will remain until someone who experiences the problem runs iwd in debug mode to generate log output that can be shared with iwd devs as part of a bug report; the debug output should show the code path that results in the error message. So far staff are unable to reproduce the problem to do that.
I'll be happy to run iwd
in debug mode to generate the log output necessary. How do I do that in LibreELEC? I noticed when I log in via SSH, I get
LibreELEC:~ # iwd
-sh: iwd: not found
Copy /usr/lib/systemd/system/iwd.service
to /storage/.config/system.d/iwd.service
then edit the ExecStart command to append -E
(developer mode). Then stop/disable/mask the original service and enable/start the new one so it's active. You should then be able to use iwctl
to run debug wlan0 connect <bssid>
to generate output. I'm not sure if the log output spews on-screen or into the journal, but it should be fairly obvious.
NB: ^ not tested, but based on some past ideas on generating it.
So before making those changes to iwd.service
, I noticed the wifi services do not show up if I have the wired network plugged in; in the Kodi Network
menu I see only the wired connection. Meanwhile, if I try to issue commands via SSH, I don't see wifi services available yet I do see the wifi powered:
LibreELEC:~ # connmanctl technologies

Tethering = False
TetheringFreq = 2412
/net/connman/technology/wifi

Here's the dmesg grepped for "wifi":

Does LibreELEC have a way to access a terminal locally rather than over SSH? That would allow me to execute the commands without bringing up the wired connection.
You have run the commands correctlyiwctl station wlan0 get-networks
should give you a list.
You shouldn’t need to run the device in text mode to test this. It will allow Ethernet and WiFi together to test.
if you follow the Mar 29 onwards messages in the other issue. As a starter but given that your scan came up empty - the debug logs are when we need to look. We also need to ensure the device is in station mode not AP mode (please ensure tethering is off)
nuc12:~ # iwctl station list

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wlan0 disconnected
nuc12:~ # iwctl station wlan0 show

Tethering is off according to the GUI and also via connmanctl technologies
. The commands you mentioned come back with the same output as yours:
LibreELEC:~ # iwctl station list
Devices in Station Mode
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LibreELEC:~ # iwctl station wlan0 show

I then repeated the iwd debug test as described in the previous issue:
LibreELEC:~ # systemctl stop iwd
LibreELEC:~ # STATE_DIRECTORY=/tmp/iwtest
LibreELEC:~ # export STATE_DIRECTORY
LibreELEC:~ # mkdir -p $STATE_DIRECTORY

D-Bus disconnected, quitting...
However, in the other window I could only reach the iwctl station wlan0 get-networks
step because it displays no networks.
I decided to try Armbian to verify whether there is some sort of hardware issue at play with my system. Armbian comes with wpa_supplicant
by default, so I removed it and then followed the Debian NetworkManager/iwd page. I installed iwd (2.3-1+deb12u1)
and ran network-manager (1.42.4-1)
. I could successfully scan and connect to a wifi access point via iwctl
.
I also checked dmesg
to verify the firmware:
root@pineh64-b:~# dmesg | grep wifi
[ 15.298131] rtl8723bs: acquire FW from file:rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin
So it appears that the hardware using the same firmware is at least capable of connecting to the access point via iwd
in Armbian. One difference however in this setup is NetworkManager (whereas we have connman
in LibreELEC), so I'm not sure if that's affecting it.
Looking at this, your information seems to be a “hardware / driver issue” but as you proved with armbian - not a hardware issue. But given that the interaction is “none” on the scan - then points to firmware,driver….
do you have a different WiFi card to test with?
to validate this we will need to see the full kernel dmesg from both LE and armbian. What is the kernel difference, what is the driver difference, what is the firmware difference, what driver is being used on armbian, does the armbian firmware on LE fix things.
Please share the full iwd logs from both armbian and LE
There are a number of hits for issues with this WiFi card on google - e.g. https://groups.google.com/g/linux.debian.ports.arm/c/AcLn66gcf2E - but let’s not suggest this is the issue yet.
There are a number of reports with this device not working in the forum too. Some current.
also the output from rfkill list
would be good.
the dts has all the right stuff in it - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/sun50i-h6-pine-h64-model-b.dts - is this the same dts being used in armbian?
The title "rtl8723bs not getting a list of networks on LE12" isn't quite right because I can get a list of access points in LibreELEC GUI as long as I don't have the Ethernet connected; the problem in that situation is that I get the "invalid-key" error message when I try to connect to an access point.
However, it is true that I have not been able to get a list of access points when I try to scan with the Ethernet plugged in, which is what's causing difficulty in troubleshooting the "invalid-key" error via SSH over Ethernet. It's possible these are separate issues, but in theory connecting Ethernet should not affect the WiFi at all because they're separate devices on the board (and also I can connect both Ethernet and WiFi at the same time in Armbian as well).
I think it's safe to eliminate hardware and firmware as possible causes because I can connect and use the same device fine with the same firmware on Armbian. It's possible there is a difference in the dts or driver between the Armbian and LibreELEC build we could investigate. Here's the build configuration for Armbian for the Pine H64 Model B:
# Allwinner H6 quad core 1-3GB RAM SoC GBE eMMC
BOARD_NAME="Pine H64 model B"
BOARDFAMILY="sun50iw6"
BOARD_MAINTAINER=""
BOOTCONFIG="pine_h64_defconfig"
KERNEL_TARGET="legacy,current,edge"
BOOT_FDT_FILE="allwinner/sun50i-h6-pine-h64-model-b.dtb"
CRUSTCONFIG="h6_defconfig"
So it looks like the Armbian image is built with the same upstream Linux dts as in LibreELEC.
Doing a simple search for "pine-h64-model-b" on the Armbian build repository yielded no results for patches, so it doesn't look like they're modifying anything for this particular device and just using the upstream Linux driver as-is.
I'll collect logs of dmesg
and rfkill list
to see if we can determine what's different.
Here are the dmesg
and config
for both systems:
dmesg_on_libreelec.txt
config_on_libreelec.txt
dmesg_on_armbian.txt
config_on_armbian.txt
The rfkill list
output is the same on both systems:
LibreELEC:~ # rfkill list

Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: bluetooth

There does seem to be this patch to the r8723bs driver supposedly affecting "Wifi stability" by disabling power management: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/b26ea8bfa042bb9b1a580c20f8a6a7d831eb5dca
I created an /etc/modprobe.d/r8723bs.conf
with options r8723bs rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0
in it and restarted so that it would take effect. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to resolve the scan issue so that doesn't appear to be the problem.
The only other patch I found is this one that does seem to be some sort of "AP" bug fix: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.6/patches.armbian/drv-staging-rtl8723bs-AP-bugfix.patch
Sorry for the noise, the "AP bugfix" patch is no longer necessary thanks to a fix already upstream initializing the structure members to zero: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YL3lih8OqGOLjVBf@kroah.com/T/
I realized I could trigger the invalid-key
error from the GUI, and then connect the Ethernet afterward to collect the log. Here's the output (MAXIT3HCAT
is my access point):

do the same stop/disable/mask process to switch back to the non-debug one
There does seem to be this patch to the r8723bs driver supposedly affecting "Wifi stability" by disabling power management: armbian/build@b26ea8b
I’ve had to use similar when initially testing the rtw88 (but just ran the commands to disable the power down)
from the dmesg [8.915500] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stopcommand
- this looks bad, and I’m pretty sure this is the MMC that the Wireless is using.
In the gui (with no Ethernet) - are you seeing any wireless networks? If yes. When you connect the Ethernet do they go away? When you remove the Ethernet - do they come back?
do you see Bluetooth devices?
You may also find that screen
in system tools may assist you when connecting / disconnecting the Ethernet.
From within screen run your “favorite” tools. Ctrl-a d (detach) Ctrl-a c (create) Ctrl-a n (next) Ctrl-a Esc (scrollback) and screen -r (resume session)

I’ve had to use similar when initially testing the rtw88 (but just ran the commands to disable the power down)
It does behave somewhat like it might be a power management issue (e.g. power draw from connected Ethernet turning off wifi device). But I would expect connmanctl technologies
to report the wifi as powered off then, but it says it's on.
from the dmesg
[8.915500] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: data error, sending stopcommand
- this looks bad, and I’m pretty sure this is the MMC that the Wireless is using.
The corresponding line in Armbian is this:
[ 1.805787] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: allocated mmc-pwrseq
So it looks like this should be allocated mmc-pwrseq
? I'm not sure if that's important or just incidental.
In the gui (with no Ethernet) - are you seeing any wireless networks? If yes. When you connect the Ethernet do they go away? When you remove the Ethernet - do they come back?
do you see Bluetooth devices?
I typically can see wireless networks in the GUI menu if I boot without Ethernet plugged in (although I have had a couple times when I saw nothing show up); I can also detect bluetooth devices nearby. After plugging in Ethernet, the wifi and bluetooth goes blank like it's not detecting anything. After disconnecting the Ethernet cable, sometimes it's recovers and I can see the both wifi networks and bluetoth devices again, sometimes just the bluetooth doesn't work, and other times I can't recover at all. If the respective MMC is having trouble, maybe that would explain this sporadic behavior.
Something interesting happened when I followed @chewitt's commands to enable my custom iwd_debug
and rebooted. I can see wifi networks in the menu now even while Ethernet is plugged in. However, I still experience the invalid-key
error when I try to connect to my wifi router.

Mar 19 19:10:38 LibreELEC iwd[371]: Unexpected connection related event -- is another supplicant running?
I can connect to bluetooth devices just fine, so the issue appears to be isolated to just WiFi.
I wonder if this is a race condition of some kind. Executing iwd
with -d
or -E
option allows me to see wireless networks even when I have Ethernet plugged in, so maybe those flags have just slowed down the iwd
process enough to avoid the race condition yet it still fails with invalid-key
when attempting to connect to a particular network.
I made an important discovery. I copied the device tree blob from Armbian via /sys/firmware/fdt
and overwrote the /flash/sun50i-h6-pine-h64-model-b.dtb
file in LibreELEC. After rebooting, I no longer experience the WiFi scan issues and I can see networks consistently with Ethernet using just normal iwd.
Here's the dmesg: dmesg_with_armbian_dtb.txt
So it seems to show that something different in the Armbian DTB file is what fixes this particular WiFi scan issue.
However, I do still see the invalid-key
issue from before when I try to connect to a wireless network.

What are the kernel logs showing at this time? There should be some authentication messages: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=264116
Can you please look at your wireless configuration.
As it looks to have WPA3 enabled. Can we please simplify the configuration - simple ssid: just lowercase text , a simple passphrase: just lowercase text. Just WPA2 and no Fast Transition enabled.
then hopefully we can get a clear run
What are the kernel logs showing at this time? There should be some authentication messages: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=264116
I think those kernel
lines are from some sort of kernel.service
systemd unit that Arch Linux has. LibreELEC doesn't seem to have a corresponding unit file like that, but I reran the test anyway just in case.
Unfortunately, I don't see any authentication messages like in that link. Here's the connection attempt and failure with the full output of journalctl

I don't know what Fast Transition is. I decided to make this simple and use my Android phone as a hotspot for testing to eliminate any possible configuration issue with the wifi router.
On my phone, I configured the hotspot SSID as Pixel_5563
with the password simplepw
set for WPA2 Personal

So it doesn't look like the issue is related to the password at all.

It seems a bit strange to me that swapping in the Armbian DTB file allows wireless networks to be seen in iwd
. Before LibreELEC switch to iwd
, I was able to connect to wireless networks via the GUI menu. I'm not sure if LibreELEC had any changes to the Pine H64 Model B device tree during that switch, but I find it odd that it would have regressed.
Another thought I've had is that perhaps the "invalid-key" issue in particular might be a regression in iwd
. Armbian has an older version of iwd
compared to LibreELEC so that is one difference there. It's also possible that the difference lies in the kernel Kconfig, but I'm not sure which kernel configurations options would be relevant to look at between the two.
This issue also seems to affect the Raspberry Pi 3 wifi capabilities. I updated my RaspberryPi (Model 3 B plus Rev 1.3) from 12.0.0 to 12.0.1 and now the WiFi on that box is also no longer working with the invalid-key message in the GUI.
After connecting a physical etheret cable I found the following in Journalctl for iwd:
Aug 27 20:28:15 chimay iwd[414]: event: connect-info, ssid: XXXXX, bss: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, signal: -38, load: 63/255
Aug 27 20:28:15 chimay iwd[414]: event: state, old: disconnected, new: connecting
Aug 27 20:28:15 chimay iwd[414]: CMD_SET_CQM failed: Operation not supported
Aug 27 20:28:15 chimay iwd[414]: event: connect-failed, status: 16
(The CMD_SET_CQM failed line can be ignored, that is present even with working WiFi on LE12.0.0) No matter what I do, I can no longer get it connected to any wifi network. GUI keeps throwing "invalid-key" error - from CLI, I get "Operation Failed".
After reverting the Pi back to 12.0.0 - the wifi immediately works again with original configuration. So seems there is something more going on here...
Is this still occurring with the latest LE13 nightlies? Are the following items (known issues) addressed:
This is a continuation of issue #7166 but for LE12.
When running LibreELEC-H6.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20240312-d108ae1-pine-h64-model-b.img: I get
invalid-key
message with any password I give. However, if I give a wrong password I also see aNetwork input/output error
notification appear after, which seems to indicate that the correct passwords are actually detected as correct but the connection is failing on something else.I think the Pine H64 Model B has a Realtek RTL8723BS, so it's possible something is messing up with that device driver, but that would be a different driver regardless from the one supporting the Amlogic Meson GXBB mentioned in issue #7166 . That seems to indicate the issue is not with the individual device drivers, but somewhere shared between the two.
