Required Information

  • DietPi version | 8.22.3
  • Distro version | bookworm 0
  • Kernel version | Linux MyPi 6.1.21-v8+ # 1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
  • SBC model | RPi 4 Model B (aarch64)
  • Power supply used | Unifi PPPOE Converter
  • SD card used | SanDisk Ultra

Steps to reproduce

I run the latest dietpi on a RPi4. Network Connectivity via Ethernet works fine.

I want to activate the WiFi interface as well, so I did via dietpi-config. Activated, SSID and Password is correctly set (and double checked via wpa_passphrase command). The network I am connecting to is a WPA3 5/6 GHz Network only. When restarting the interface, I constantly get timeouts on the DHCP Discovery:

Listening on LPF/wlan0/e4:5f:…
Sending on   LPF/wlan0/e4:5f:…
Sending on   Socket/fallback
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 18
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

I tried a different network which also offer 2.4 GHZ with no probems.

Expected behaviour

WiFi should connect to WPA3 Networks.

Actual behaviour

WiFi doesn't connect to WPA3 Networks.

Extra details

  • WiFi itself works, when I do a iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID, I see the whole Wifi Network list including the ESSID I want to connect to.
  • The AP is a Unifi Hotspot with hundreds of devices connected without any problems.
  • Apparently there are ways to patch/fix this
