Doesn't work on Ubuntu 20.10 #98

Closed Randomblock1 closed 3 years ago

Randomblock1 commented 3 years ago

I am running Ubuntu 20.10, and previously on 20.04, everything worked perfectly. However, now, every time I try to connect, it tries to associate with my WiFi, but takes too long and gets cancelled, prompting me to enter my password again. I don't know why this is.

journalctl:
wlxb44bd62a9779: Trying to associate with wifi
rtw_set_802_11_connect(wlxb44bd62a9779)  fw_state=0x00000008
device (wlxb44bd62a9779): supplicant interface state: scanning -> associating
device (p2p-dev-wlxb44bd62a9779): supplicant management interface state: scanning -> associating
Activation: (wifi) association took too long
state change: config -> need-auth
Activation: asking for new secrets

Haha, I'm just stupid. Forgot to look at this. https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU/issues/30

SOLUTION

git checkout 5.8.1 Then do one of these: make && sudo make install Or: sudo cp -rvf rtl8821CU-5.8.1 /usr/src sudo dkms add rtl8821CU/5.8.1 sudo dkms install rtl8821CU/5.8.1 -k $(uname -r)
