I know my AX211 supports CCMP, but attempting to boot gets: wlan0: link state changed to UP iwlwifi0: _lkpi_iv_key_set: CIPHER SUITE 0xfac02 (TKIP) not supported wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Why don't I see any attempt to do CCMP? Am I looking at an issue with the Arris WiFi provided by my carrier (Frontier)? I can't find any reference to encryption in the DHCP configuration. Mine is very basic PSK: network={ ssid="My BSS" psk="My key" priority=5 } After several tries at getting an address, it gives up and the system crashed. I have the text dump and will attach the crash message. Also have the full dmesg, if they are of use. I probably am simply missing something. Thanks! I enabled it is loader.conf, but the reboot failed to connect and then crashed. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Mon, Feb 17, 2025 at 8:01 PM Bjoern A.
