Issues on archlinux, P2P not supported according to wpa_supplicant

[mrchainman]

I am running arch-linux with iwd and systemd-networkd. I excluded the my external usb wifi dongle from being managed by networkd and then configured it according to the wiki:

╰─λ sudo miracle-wifid --lazy-managed &

✦  ╰─λ sudo miracle-sinkctl

although it says that there is no support for P2P, I am sure both my adapters support it, as shown by iw dev:

✦  ╰─λ iw list | grep P2P

Default config for wpa_supplicant do not enable P2P.

You need miracle-wifid to spawn a new wpa_supplicant with right configuration

[mrchainman]

Thats what I am doing here: ╰─λ sudo miracle-wifid --lazy-managed & Are extra steps required?

[albfan]

If you don't kill whatever is spawning wpa_supplicant, miraclecast just reuse that process, with wrong config

[mrchainman]

Since I don't use wpa_supplicant there are no other wpa_supplicant processes, also checked with ps aux | grpe wpa

[albfan]

if you don't have wpa_supplicant I expect this error on trying to setup miracle-wifid

https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast/blob/master/src/wifi/wifid-supplicant.c#L2494

miraclecast depends on wpa_supplicant

[mrchainman]

Its installed, but not running

[albfan]

please attach logs for support as wiki say in FAQ, it should show there what's going on

Closed until logs for support are provided
