9front doesn't want to connect to the broadband connection downstairs even with the exact correct password, whoops
It looks like wpa is hanging whenever it tries to actually join the network, why?
@nyanide
TKIP vs CCMP? 🤔
@m0xee not sure what you mean

You can configure your access point to use either CCMP or TKIP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11i-2004#Protocol_operation
Nowadays on the client you don't have to set up either of them specifically, you only need SSID and the key, wpa_supplicant figures out the rest itself — but it might not always be the case and sometimes you have to try using each of them manually.
@m0xee I think the firmware I copied over from the 9front repo with an example version of /lib/firmware is busted anyway, I keep getting messages about missing firmware even though it's right there when I go to look at it
see see @sysrq do you have experience with setting up wifi on 9front using an old thinkpad

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about! Nowadays wpa_supplicant can figure it out, though it used to require manual configuration in the past, so maybe "wpa(8)" does too 😁
@m0xee uhhh this is plan 9, the wpa supplicant talk doesn't exactly apply here. Instead I am using wpa(8)
