The package for aarch64: > http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/distrib/cauldron/aarch64/media/core/release/wpa_supplicant-2.10-3.mga9.aarch64.rpm contains in the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file this uncommented line 2043: > freq_list=5180 Without this line, I can connect with wpa_supplicant on my Rpi4 SBC. Also another uncommented section line 2015: > blob-base64-exampleblob={ > SGVsbG8gV29ybGQhCg== > } It should be commented. Don't you find this configuration file a bit too big? What about splitting it in two? One the real defautl configuration with the strict minimum, another aside, this one, as it?
Thank you for the report and the corrections. Different packagers commit wpa_supplicant, so assigning this globally.

The same configuration is on my x86_64 machine. (even if it does not prevent to connect to a hotspot)

What about just using as default config: --------------------------------- # Default configuration file for wpa_supplicant.conf(5). ctrl_interface=/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 update_config=1 # Add here your networks. --------------------------------- And move the example upstream one (the one we use) to /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf.sample
Fine for me. Except the default configuration. I don't have such default configuration on mine mga8: --------------------------------- > sed -e '/^[[:space:]]*#/d;/^[[:space:]]*$/d' /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 --------------------------------- Checking for update_config=1; sounds to be good is using wpa_gui and as it removes the comments, it is now better because the sample file is aside, so the comments will remain. for ctrl_interface_group=wheel, I dont have sudo installed, no wheel group. Is it okay ?
Created attachment 13937 [details] proposed mga default wpa_supplicant config file WDYT? Is it ok for you?
Fine for me.
It would be better if all of the comments that are only about what's needed on windows installs were removed. The extra comments make it hard to see what is relevant for linux.

(In reply to Jybz from comment #4) > for ctrl_interface_group=wheel, I dont have sudo installed, no wheel group. > Is it okay ? User group wheel isn't sudo only thing. Group wheel is available on every install by default.
Good point. https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/setup/tree/group shows it's included in the setup package, so wheel group always has a gid of 10.
