wifi won't connect before setting down the network interface first #93

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hi, It is probably a "bug" from the arch iso (at least for June 2020), but setting up wifi fails and logs show that the interface is already up. Other reported this problem. For example here.

I finally add a line to the configure_network function is alis.sh. So I add at line 330: ip link set "$WIFI_INTERFACE" down

Invoking this line multiple times does not seem to halt the script, since setting down an already downed interface does not generate an error. So I expect that adding this line would not hurt, even if the "bug" was corrected in July...

Is this solved using a more recent arch iso?

Replaced netctl with iwctl so this maybe not happens now.
