I'm a complete noob when it comes to wireless! I just turned wireless on on my openSUSE PC (Leap 15.0) in order to be able to control a TP-Link HS110 smart plug. But the wireless seems to be flaky on the PC and I have no idea why. I set it up in YaST - I use Wicked - and it seemed to work, then it stopped, then it worked, then it didn't etc. YaST now says: RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter (Not connected) MAC : 80:a5:89:34:b8:27 BusID : 0000:03:00.0 Device Name: wlan0 Started automatically at boot IP address assigned using DHCP but on my router's network management page I can see an IP address for my PC's WLAN interface (it's on a different net to the wired LAN) and part of the time it indicates a connection and part not. When it does the signal strength is -73 dBm. Is it telling me there's an actual connection problem (needs a better antenna) or is there some other possibility? How can I tell for sure? Oh there's a bunch of stuff in the log that probably helps if I knew what it meant: 2019-11-09T17:33:48.960206+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051579.222125] wlan0: Connection to AP 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 lost 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240230+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.502761] wlan0: authenticate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 2019-11-09T17:33:52.240242+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.503188] wlan0: send auth to 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244205+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509073] wlan0: authenticated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.244217+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.509992] wlan0: associate with 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (try 1/3) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250061+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515266] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=6) 2019-11-09T17:33:52.250072+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051582.515519] wlan0: associated 2019-11-09T17:33:52.276592+00:00 acer-suse wickedd-dhcp4[1406]: wlan0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 5fdb3c5d-1de5-0b00-a505-00000d000000 2019-11-09T17:33:55.580226+00:00 acer-suse kernel: [9051585.842867] wlan0: deauthenticated from 9a:9b:cb:9d:ab:52 (Reason: 34=DISASSOC_LOW_ACK) etc etc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
