You know the Wifi works because you can connect to a normal visible network. (From conversation on Telegram we know this) Can you explain what you tried to connect to the hidden network?

AhmedNabilG commented 1 year ago

In gnome Open gnome control And chose add hidden wifi Write the wifi name and password Then connect But the connection failed In kde Open setting Connection Chose+ Chose wifi Edit name and password and chose hidden box Final connection failed

I think this problem because NetworkManager.conf is missing And NetworkManager didn't using wpa_supplicant For backend

AhmedNabilG commented 1 year ago

But I don't know what are you using for networkmanager backend for trying to fixed it

msdobrescu commented 1 year ago

My configs are here: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ Here is a documentation: https://developer-old.gnome.org/NetworkManager/stable/NetworkManager.conf.html. We need an error message at least to understand what happens.

I'm sorry my English not good because my language is Arabic But in all Linux distro I used NetworkManager.conf Must be in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf It's missing in your distro

AhmedNabilG commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry I try to fixing it But I can't I will go away Goodbye

If you're distro based on Gentoo I think to fix this problem You need to use Use flags tkip wifi Wireless Networkmanager I fixed it on another Gentoo based distro

willzyx-hub commented 1 year ago

tkip use flags are disabled since Gentoo decide to deprecate TKIP so wifi network using TKIP will not work out of the box.

joostruis commented 1 year ago

@willzyx-hub thanks for explaining this. So do you think we should enable this flag or would that cause potential security issues? That flag should be enabled on wpa_supplicant AFAIK

I don't know how to enable it on mocaccinoOS

joostruis commented 1 year ago

I know how and where to enable it. Question is if we should.
