Created attachment 864 [details] screenshot of boot screen WLAN cleint does not work any more. while booting system there is an error in the wpa suplicant system : failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: (nil) error: No such file or directory
Could you please provide some more detail? What kind of wireless device are you using? Could you please post the output of "bash -x /etc/init.d/wlanclient start". This will be quite long.

Could you please run this and post the output? > wpa_supplicant -ddd -ired0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf Please use the attachment function of Bugzilla for archiving purposes.

It`s a litte bit strange because in all previous versions the WLAN stick works fine. regards
Core 153 is the latest version that runs without any problems

It`s a litte bit strange because in > all previous versions the WLAN stick works fine. It looks like the r8188eu driver isn't up to date to use the kernel's NL80211 interface. This is needed to use SAE (aka WPA3). We have disabled the legacy layer in the last Core Update: > https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=55209df391e11bf97ec1cda2dbf90aa365c75761 I do not see how we can re-enable this without breaking WPA3. Would you be up for trying the development kernel?
OK :/ - which USB WLAN card do you recomment ? This one works with update 145 (latest in the IP Fire WLAN list ) : MS1559 USB WiFi
(In reply to itoss from comment #7) > OK :/ - which USB WLAN card do you recomment ? They are all bad, so I wouldn't really recommend any. However, I would recommend trying the new kernel. If that doesn't work we might need to create a blacklist for modules that do not support the most recent API.
is the new kernel in the latest ipfire installfile located here ? : https://www.ipfire.org/download/ipfire-2.25-core154 regards
No, you can find it here: > https://people.ipfire.org/~arne_f/highly-experimental/kernel-5.10/
can you recommend me an USB Wlan card/stick which is running with the actual IP Fire Software ?
> https://wiki.ipfire.org/hardware/networking Here is a list with a selection of what is supported by IPFire.
In this list the latest IP Fire core version for USB WLAN is 145. Actually available Version is 161. RTL8192CU Device is listed for using later than version 100 cores - but does this include the changes later than core 153 ? This device does not work : https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0088TKTY2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Can You tell me the core 161 specs or any tipps for running an usb WLAN Stick ( Kernel supported ? firmwareinstallation available in ipfire e.g. ? ) regards

If something worked once it should continue working. > RTL8192CU Device is listed for using later than version 100 cores - but does > this include the changes later than core 153 ? We have a driver for this. The vendor is quite irrelevant. What you care about is the chipset and occasionally the hardware revision. > This device does not work : > https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0088TKTY2/ > ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has quite bad reviews even with Windows. > Can You tell me the core 161 specs or any tipps for running an usb WLAN > Stick ( Kernel supported ? firmwareinstallation available in ipfire e.g. ? ) Does it have to be USB?
