Hi,
I am trying to help some users of my GitHub repo for rtw89. Several are having
problems trying to connect to their APs. When their AP scan lists the following:
WPA: * Version: 1
* Group cipher: TKIP
* Pairwise ciphers: TKIP
* Authentication suites: PSK
RSN: * Version: 1
* Group cipher: TKIP
* Pairwise ciphers: CCMP
* Authentication suites: PSK
* Capabilities: 1-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x0000)
I have no problems. My scan results show:
RSN: * Version: 1
* Group cipher: CCMP
* Pairwise ciphers: CCMP
* Authentication suites: PSK
* Capabilities: 16-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x000c)
At least one of them can connect to a hotspot created on his phone; however, it
also shows Capabilities: 16-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x000c). I have tried to
discover what causes the difference between this value and that of Capabilities:
1-PTKSA-RC 1-GTKSA-RC (0x0000). No matter how I setup my APs, I always get
16-PTKSA-RC.
Can anyone help me understand this problem?
Thanks,
Larry

Ping-ke, Two of the 4 users with the problem have reported back that their device now works. Thanks for the patch. In a separate question, will v6 have provisions for IPv6?

Personally, I do not use IPv6, but one of the users (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/19) has bad IPv4 throughput with his ISP, but better with IPv6. That doesn't make any sense to me, but I told him that I would ask. Sorry that I have not had time for reviewing the v5 code. There have been a couple of emergencies with VirtualBox, which I maintain for openSUSE. Larry ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I'm one of the people having problems with ipv6 and the rtw89 driver. i've tested it with the debian bullseye kernel and vanilla 5.13 from kernel.org It's about a Realtek 8852 in a Thinkpad E14 Gen2 (amd). > > The driver handles L2 things only, but IPv6 that is L3 that we don't > > have special deal. > > Could I know the problem you met? Yep that was also my first reaction 1:1, but it's 100% repdoducible. Ethernet connection works, i get an v4 adress and an v6 one (SLAAC), it works flawlessly with an USB wifi stick, but the integrated wifi only gets the link local ipv6 address, an ipv4 one but nothing more. I've tried to dump router advertisements, but none of them pop up. (As soon as i attach the ethernet cable/usb wifi stick they're there...) I have around ~10 other devices in the same network, all of them get without any hazzle an v6 address via SLAAC and since some other people seem to have the same problem in the github issue i'm really suspecting the driver here... If it maybe helps: this is what i get als output from ip(8) on a wifi usb stick: 59: wlx801XXXXXXXXX: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 80:1f:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.64.113/24 brd 192.168.64.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlx801XXXXXXXXX valid_lft 862412sec preferred_lft 862412sec inet6 fd00::1245:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 scope global dynamic noprefixroute valid_lft 6718sec preferred_lft 3118sec inet6 2a02:8071:2cc3:XXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 scope global dynamic noprefixroute valid_lft 6718sec preferred_lft 3118sec inet6 fe80::XX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever and this is what i get on the 8852: 4: wlp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 74:4c:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.64.112/24 brd 192.168.64.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp3s0 valid_lft 863997sec preferred_lft 863997sec inet6 fe80::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXX/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever i'd be glad to help to debug this any further, currently i'm also out of ideas how the driver could impact L3... > I'm not sure if ISP limits the throughput or not. > My suggestion is to have another PC connected to AP with ethernet cable. > Then, > do performance test between two PCs to check the difference between IPv4 > and IPv6. Please do not confused by this throughput problem, that's completely independent. The ipv4 performance of the driver seems to be enough, though i did not measure it, but it's also not noticable slow :) The only problem for me personally is that i only have a DS-Lite connection from my ISP, which means for v4 i'm behind a carrier grade nat - and the gateway (of the carrier) where my v4 traffic is routed through seems to be heavily overloaded during some hours of the day. So no worries for the driver here at all ;) Thanks! Cheers Jan -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
