Info: Update this driver with the following commands as needed:

$ git pull
$ sudo sh install-driver.sh

Note: Updates to this driver SHOULD be performed before distro
      upgrades such as Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04.
Note: Updates to this driver SHOULD be performed before major
      upgrades such as kernel 6.5 to 6.6.
Note: Updates can be performed as often as you like. It is
      recommended to update at least every 3 months.
Note: Work on this driver, like the Linux kernel, is continuous.

Enjoy!

What happened?

WPA2 is not working in AP mode on my Alfa AWUS036ACH. Most likely just an error on my side, but I could not figure out which, so just in case:

  • Using hostapd 2.11 on ArchLinux 6.11.5 (and 6.10.10) to create an ieee80211ac Access Point
  • WPA2 is not working
  • WEP is automatically selected.
  • When I set wpa=1 or wpa=2 WEP ist selected, not WPA or WPA2
  • If I set wpa=3 WPA[1] is selected

I tried different configurations, but the result is always the same. Also tried the driver maintained by the aircrack-ng guys, which has the same problem for me.

Other Adapters/Chipsets on this specific system work fine (in this regard).

@uhlat commented on GitHub (Oct 27, 2024):

It seems to be related to hostapd. Downgrading from 2.11 to 2.10 fixed that problem for me. However, this specific one was only relevant to my rtl8812au device.

So might still be something with the driver?

Hi @uhlat

WPA2 is not working in AP mode

I see.

Probably not.

Can you post your hostapd.conf file?

Oh. I missed it.

wpa=3

change that line to:

wpa=2

delete the following lines unless you are sure you need them:

require_ht=1
require_vht=1

That should get you close.

Thank you for your help - and while at it for all your work and wonderful resources!

Your suggested changes also result in the above mentioned problem with hostapd 2.11. However with 2.10 it works as expected.

A workaround is using hostapd 2.10 (not 2.11) .

Since this is most likely hostapd related I'll just close this issue here and see what the next hostapd version brings.

I am assuming that you are using the driver in this repo. What needs to happen is I need to get you over to the new in-kernel driver to see if the same problem exist, then we can work it. I will not be doing any more work on the driver in this repo now that we have a good standards compliant driver available.

If you are using kernel 6.14, you can simply uninstall this driver and the in-kernel driver will take over on reboot. However, it you are on an older kernel, go to:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

And install the driver from there. It is the same code as what is in kernel 6.14 and later. That is where we developed the driver. If you see any problems, you can report the problem in that repo. See you there.

I had assumed your adapter is based on the rtl8812au chip as this repo is for the rtl8812au chip.

The rtw88 repo I pointed you too has a new driver for the rtl8814au. The rtl8814au did not go upstream to 6.14 as it was not finished at the time. It started upstream with kernel 6.15 and more patches are coming with 6.16. Your best option for now is to use the rtw88 repo I provided the link to above as it does have the code for the rtl8814au. See you at the rtw88 repo.

Do I need to add some parameters to the rtw88 module?

<!-- gh-comment-id:2891711585 --> @xiaohuirong commented on GitHub (May 19, 2025): The issue has been resolved, but I encountered a problem with the rtw88 driver where the speed is halved. My previous module parameters for 8814au were: ``` options 8814au rtw_drv_log_level=0 rtw_led_ctrl=1 rtw_vht_enable=2 rtw_power_mgnt=1 rtw_switch_usb_mode=1 ``` The hostapd configuration file was: ``` # https://github.com/morrownr/8814au/issues/20 interface=wlan1 bridge=br0 driver=nl80211 ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd ctrl_interface_group=0 ssid=NetPi country_code=US ieee80211d=1 ieee80211h=1 hw_mode=a #channel=44 #vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=42 #Use the next line with channel 36 (36 + 6 = 42) band 2 - 5g #vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=42 #channel=36 #Use the next line with channel 149 (149 + 6 = 155) band 2 - 5g vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=155 channel=149 beacon_int=100 dtim_period=2 max_num_sta=32 macaddr_acl=0 rts_threshold=2347 fragm_threshold=2346 wpa_passphrase=xxxxx auth_algs=1 ignore_broadcast_ssid=0 wpa=2 wpa_pairwise=CCMP wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK ieee80211n=1 wmm_enabled=1 ht_capab=[HT40+][HT40-][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40][MAX-AMSDU-7935] ieee80211ac=1 vht_capab=[MAX-MPDU-11454][SHORT-GI-80][HTC-VHT] vht_oper_chwidth=1 ``` Do I need to add some parameters to the rtw88 module?

No, modern Linux drivers are far different than the old Realtek out-of-kernel drivers. Module parameters almost do not exist. The new drivers are very automatic. However, they require different setting in hostapd.conf.

I need to be out of the office for a while. I'll try to work that this afternoon.

Alright, thank you so much for all the work you've put into these WiFi drivers and for your kind assistance.
