Hi In my ThinkPad is > Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) < . I use net-wireless/broadcom-sta-6.30.223.271-r5 (tested with -r4 with the same result). After update net-wireless/wpa_supplicant from 2.6-r10 to 2.8-r1 the WiFi adapter not see any AP. After downgrade back to net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.6-r10 all work. If you need more information please ask me. emerge --info Portage 2.3.69 (python 2.7.15-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib, gcc-8.3.0, glibc-2.29-r2, 4.19.66-gentoo x86_64)

Your `dmesg` and actual wpa_supplicant output might be useful here.

Sorry for duplicated dmesg.

Confirmed. I have the same issue with broadcom-sta, if using wpa_supplicant-2.8. First could not sort it out, until I have found this bugreport and rechecked installed wpa_supplicant version. Using wpa_supplicant 2.6-r10 WLAN works, if using wpa_supplicant 2.8, WLAN does not work anymore. 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) This broadcom chip is in a MBP 11,1. When wpa_supplicant 2.8 is installed and the interface is /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start-ed. Then the interface reports --- 2: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DORMANT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 6c:40:08:aa:c4:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff --- NO-CARRIER and is DORMANT and it remains in this particular state. If there is no carrier, then either something might be wrong with the used carrier frequencies, This would explain the EVENT-SCAN-FAILED that the wpa_cli is reporting. It fails to detect any frequencies i would think the wpa_cli output is following --- wpa_cli v2.8 Copyright (c) 2004-2019, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors This software may be distributed under the terms of the BSD license.

So something might changed from wpa_supplicant 2.6 to 2.8. The region should be over here set to DE. This might be one of the reasons why the CARRIER is down (no frequencies detected, no carrier) and the inteface is DORMANT (the interface is not in a condition to pass packets it is in a state waiting for some external event).

Tested with wpa_supplicant-2.7, and it does not work using ~2.7-r3. The same behaviour as with 2.8 version. The wpa_supplicant 2.6 version is currently the only which is working properly.
The folks over at Fedora ran into what appears to be the same issue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1703745 It seems to be some interaction between the broadcom driver and having built wpa_supplicant with the -DCONFIG_MESH flag on. I'm having the same issue on my own system. Over here I only got it working after downgrading to wpa_supplicant 2.6-r10 *and* setting the "gnutls" use flag. Without it set it didn't work. That incidentally turns off that -DCONFIG_MESH in the ebuild. For versions 2.8-r1 and 2.9 of the ebuild this -DCONFIG_MESH is enabled by having either "-bindist" or "libressl" flags on. Perhaps there should be a separate use flag to enable/disable this MESH configuration option? I can't afford to turn on "bindist" so can't get wpa_supplicant-2.8-r1 to work with the current ebuild.
net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1 the same problem
Confirming wpa_supplicant 2.9-r1 does not work here too. Today the only working wpa_supplicant version 2.6 has been removed from the portage tree. Anything we can do to resolve this issue? Since now I need to ask myself howto resolve this. What needs to be done that this bugs becomes "confirmed"?
I am building the wl module from github.com/antoineco/broadcom-wl, and can confirm it causes my MBP to freeze when wpa_supplicant >= 2.7 (which I have masked for this reason).
Hello, The same on my system (BCM43228) wpa 2.9. The solution for me was to manually edit the .config with the configuration that was posted on this page: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/wpa_supplicant.html (It has nothing to do with NM here, it is not even installed, nor was it only useful to deactivate CONFIG_MESH.)
Try this patch applied to /usr/portage/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1.ebuild It works on my BCM4313 wireless network adapter. --- wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1.ebuild.orig 2020-01-05 17:14:42.314550017 +0100 +++ wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1.ebuild 2020-01-05 17:18:59.212554325 +0100 @@ -150,7 +150,7 @@ Kconfig_style_config TLSV11 Kconfig_style_config TLSV12 Kconfig_style_config GETRANDOM - Kconfig_style_config MBO + Kconfig_style_config MBO n # Basic authentication methods # NOTE: we don't set GPSK or SAKE as they conflict @@ -230,11 +230,11 @@ if ! use bindist || use libressl; then Kconfig_style_config EAP_PWD if use fils; then - Kconfig_style_config FILS - Kconfig_style_config FILS_SK_PFS + Kconfig_style_config FILS n + Kconfig_style_config FILS_SK_PFS n fi # Enabling mesh networks. - Kconfig_style_config MESH + Kconfig_style_config MESH n #WPA3 Kconfig_style_config OWE Kconfig_style_config SAE
Confirmed. I have tested this ebuild patch and it works over here. I get the carrier and the IP address. Created a patched ebuild containing this particular ebuild patch and attached to this bug-report so it is easier to test.

It work with my BCM43142 too. Appended patch based on ocq@tutanota.com patch and add USEflag "broadcom-sta" for activate necessary changes. --- wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1.ebuild.orig 2020-01-23 11:58:41.244044210 +0100 +++ wpa_supplicant-2.9-r1.ebuild 2020-01-23 12:04:01.654643728 +0100 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ fi SLOT="0" -IUSE="ap bindist dbus eap-sim eapol_test fasteap +fils +hs2-0 libressl macsec p2p privsep ps3 qt5 readline selinux smartcard tdls uncommon-eap-types wimax wps kernel_linux kernel_FreeBSD" +IUSE="ap bindist broadcom-sta dbus eap-sim eapol_test fasteap +fils +hs2-0 libressl macsec p2p privsep ps3 qt5 readline selinux smartcard tdls uncommon-eap-types wimax wps kernel_linux kernel_FreeBSD" # CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y does not have sufficient support for the new driver # interface functions used for MACsec, so this combination cannot be used @@ -150,7 +150,11 @@ Kconfig_style_config TLSV11 Kconfig_style_config TLSV12 Kconfig_style_config GETRANDOM - Kconfig_style_config MBO + if use broadcom-sta ; then + Kconfig_style_config MBO n + else + Kconfig_style_config MBO + fi # Basic authentication methods # NOTE: we don't set GPSK or SAKE as they conflict @@ -230,11 +234,20 @@ if ! use bindist || use libressl; then Kconfig_style_config EAP_PWD if use fils; then - Kconfig_style_config FILS - Kconfig_style_config FILS_SK_PFS + if use broadcom-sta ; then + Kconfig_style_config FILS n + Kconfig_style_config FILS_SK_PFS n + else + Kconfig_style_config FILS + Kconfig_style_config FILS_SK_PFS + fi fi # Enabling mesh networks. - Kconfig_style_config MESH + if use broadcom-sta ; then + Kconfig_style_config MESH n + else + Kconfig_style_config MESH + fi #WPA3 Kconfig_style_config OWE Kconfig_style_config SAE
I use networkmanager and updating that to version 1.18.4-r2 as fixed in linked bug 702476 fixes the problem for me.
2.9-r2 has the broadcom-sta flag which will force you to disable the needed flags which are now exposed. I really hope this helps.
