Update from Linux version 5.3.8-1-default to Linux version 5.3.11-1-default breaks wireless

AxJHerVQ · November 24, 2019, 5:05pm

Hello,
with updating from Linux version 5.3.8-1-default to Linux version 5.3.11-1-default I am not able to use wireless anymore. :’(

I am using the following device:


04:01.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9227 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
04:01.0 0280: 168c:002d (rev 01)

With Linux version 5.3.8-1-default I can see the following in the journalctl:

To run into the wireless problems it is sufficient to update the wpa_supplicant rpm. Doing so, I run into the problems described below.

The old dbus interface for wpa_supplicant was removed (see https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/wpa_supplicant/dbus?id=6a8dee76d4090287c016680c009b1334e01b5fbd ),
so “fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant” is not available anymore,
but wickedd is still trying to communicate with wpa_supplicant by the old interface instead of the new “fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1” interface.
This seems seems to be the cause for the error message in post #1

"Nov 23 16:34:23 willnixWlan dbus-daemon[1097]: [system] Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.13" (uid=0 pid=1251 comm="/usr/sbin/wickedd --systemd --foreground ") interface="fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant" member="getInterface" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant" (bus)"

Is wickedd currently being worked on to fix this?
I didn’t find anything yet.
