Because it's configured for WPA Ent I imagine.

Where did that came from ?

I dont know - I have no Radius Server set up.

If Ent means "Enterprise" then its not - its WPA2 with Pre-shared Key and AES

stephenw10

Huh, interesting. Checking....

There is nothing in the firewall log from the WLAN interface (wireless network).

When my Android Smartphone connects I see this in wireless log:

and where exactly do you see these statistics? Status \ System Logs \ System \ Wireless connection

Exact there! (Highlighted)

Yes I see the same.
You should also see it in Status > Wireless

It took me a moment to realize that the most recent ones were from below. Here's what appears after trying to connect from your phone:

I see there:

EAPOL-Key timeout

and I interprete that like the Authentication is not coming from your device - is that smartphone logging in correctly in a other access point?

stephenw10

Also I assume if you login from the laptop the logs look the same as we see?

It connects to all other Wi-fi points from the phone without problems.

This is what I see when I connect from my laptop:

Possible the phone is restricted to WPA3 only? Other APs you tested against are WPA2?

Currently connected to a wireless network with WPA2-PSK

What driver is that using? rtwn(4)? Is that USB or PCI connected?

What does sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto show?

mrkaban

@stephenw10 said in Wi-Fi: laptop yes, phone no:

sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto

If you run "Diagnostics \ Command Prompt" here, then the output:

dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto: 1

stephenw10

Hmm, well I don't think that hardware crypto applies to WPA2 but try disabling that with:
sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto=0

Unclear if that applies immediately.

Completed, the output was:

sysctl: oid 'dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto' is a read only tunable
sysctl: Tunable values are set in /boot/loader.conf

Of course I rebooted and tried. And only after the failure did I read what exactly he was writing.

stephenw10

Yup run: echo dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto=0 >> /boot/loader.conf.local

Then reboot.

As before, it does not pass authentication. He says that the password is incorrect, but it is definitely correct.

stephenw10

Running sysctl dev.rtwn.0.hwcrypto shows it's correctly disabled?

Hmm, I didn't really expect that make any difference in WPA2 unless it had a broken AES/TKIP implementation perhaps.

Do you have an older Android you could test with? I'm not aware of any particular issue with Android 14 but I don't have a device to test with right now.
