8811CU WiFi Cannot Connecting

Featured Replies

I have a 8811CU WiFi dongle that failed to work on my Nanopi Neo. When connecting using nmcli, I get this error "Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided."

The device is correctly recognized and I can perform iw scan without issue. 

I tried with 6.1.7(edge) and 5.15.89(current) kernel, and install the driver from https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916, all end up with the exact same error. 

 

Here's the journal log where "nl80211: kernel reports: Authentication algorithm number required" error stands out.
