Igor Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I did a quick test to confirm there is nothing wrong on our side. 1. Download latest Debian Stretch, setup AP within armbian-config, test AP with a phone, ... 2. Upgrade to latest Nightly packages and test AP. Working fine. If you use some manual operations, you have to know exactly what you are doing. Logs: http://ix.io/1q6A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renard Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hm... Just flashed fresh clean armbian 5.59 into sd with default configuration. It worked there. Then rebooted to my old sd with 5.60, and it magically started working in 5.60 with my old configuration. Yet I am 100% sure that I made several reboots with 5.60 already without any changes before. Maybe some hardware issue (or firmware "loading" issue). As we see below it is only one attempt to "acquire FW from file:rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin" as opposed to lots of them before. Thanks for your attempts to help, and sorry for your time for checking. ``` # dmesg -T | grep -i rtl8723bs [Tue Oct 30 13:01:27 2018] RTL8723BS: module init start [Tue Oct 30 13:01:27 2018] RTL8723BS: rtl8723bs v4.3.5.5_12290.20140916_BTCOEX20140507-4E40 [Tue Oct 30 13:01:27 2018] RTL8723BS: rtl8723bs BT-Coex version = BTCOEX20140507-4E40 [Tue Oct 30 13:01:27 2018] RTL8723BS: rtw_ndev_init(wlan0) [Tue Oct 30 13:01:27 2018] RTL8723BS: module init ret =0 [Tue Oct 30 13:01:34 2018] rtl8723bs: acquire FW from file:rtlwifi/rtl8723bs_nic.bin [Tue Oct 30 13:01:38 2018] RTL8723BS: rtw_cmd_thread(wlan0) pcmd->sctx [Tue Oct 30 13:01:38 2018] RTL8723BS: assoc success [Tue Oct 30 13:01:38 2018] RTL8723BS: set group key camid:1, addr:00:00:00:00:00:00, kid:1, type:AES [Tue Oct 30 13:01:41 2018] RTL8723BS: set group key camid:1, addr:00:00:00:00:00:00, kid:1, type:AES [Tue Oct 30 13:01:41 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:01:41 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:01:41 2018] RTL8723BS: set pairwise key camid:4, addr:3c:05:18:8c:eb:03, kid:0, type:AES [Tue Oct 30 13:02:00 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:02:00 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:02:00 2018] RTL8723BS: set pairwise key camid:5, addr:58:c5:cb:1e:f3:a3, kid:0, type:AES [Tue Oct 30 13:11:38 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:11:38 2018] RTL8723BS: send eapol packet [Tue Oct 30 13:11:38 2018] RTL8723BS: set group key camid:2, addr:00:00:00:00:00:00, kid:2, type:AES ``` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
