[GENTOO] given up on wifi
-
does your router have logs and are you able to see the authentication requests or connection attempts?
without that and in your shoes; i would exactly duplicate the configuration and versions of your networking stack in your gentoo configuration; everything from the exact kernel version, to the module & firmware version; and onto the nmcli version and configuration. i would even compile the module along with the kernel if that's what the live fedora was using.
-
it works fine with literally, anyother wifi accesspoint, do you have any tips on waht I should do for the relevant logs to show up?
I dont have journalctl but would dmesg work fine? -
I have 2 cores with 2 threads, compiling anything again is not an option for me, atleast right now

Just a simple command to change logging level to debugging should do it. Make sure to change it back though!

it's funny that you're using gentoo and want to avoid recompiling since the last time i used gentoo was on a single core, first generation imac and it literally took me 3 days to compile the kernel along with the drivers that i needed to get the apple/ppc architecture to work correctly
it got so hot that i couldn't even touch it for another day. lol
-
its the 3rd day for me, so as I said i don't want to recompile anything right now
-
I added the use flags,
compiled wpa_supplicant again with --newuse,
restarted NM and wpa,
and still the same issue
-
yes, exhaust all of the the other troubleshooting advice that the others gave you in this post before going down this rabbit hole; i only suggested it because it worked for me the last time i used gentoo, in my example.
-
Thank you so much it just worked now!!

I'm glad that it has fixed your problem. Enjoy
