Today I was unable to connect to my home access point eventhough the key is correct. I searched the log files and found the following entries:
NetworkManager: [1486388354.0812] device (wlan1):
supplicant interface state: scanning -> authenticating
kernel: wlan1: RX AssocResp from 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6 (capab=0x411 status=18 aid=0)
kernel: wlan1: 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6 denied association (code=18)
NetworkManager: [1486388354.0865] device (wlan1):
supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associating
Question: Where can I find more information about the
AssocResp
with capab=0x411
, status=18
and aid=0
. Or how can I find out why the association was denied?
When I am connecting network manager does not give me any kind of error message and just keeps prompting me for the password so the above log entries are the only clue that I currently have.
**Update**
After playing a bit with my routers wireless settings I realized that the problem was comming from an option named:
802.11 N Support Required
When I switched this to off
my notebook was immediately able to connect to my wireless network.
NetworkManager: [1486736944.1725] device (wlan1):
supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associating
kernel: wlan1: associate with 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6 (try 1/3)
kernel: wlan1: associate with 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6 (try 2/3)
kernel: wlan1: RX AssocResp from 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1)
wpa_supplicant: wlan1: Associated with 80:c6:ab:49:02:e6
kernel: wlan1: associated
NetworkManager: [1486736944.2821] device (wlan1):
supplicant interface state: associating -> associated
However I know for sure that my wireless card is able to connect to class N wifi networks. Checking with lshw
for the current wifi driver confirms that the wireless interface for wlan1
is a **Centrino Advanced-N 6205** from Intel.
