My Pi 3B+ has got itself into a pickle. I got down this rabbit hole because my original problem was that I couldn't connect to the Pi over Wifi unless the ethernet was also plugged in. At that point in time I had Wifi configured with wpa_supplicant on The Kearney Gaff SSID and it was working fine BUT only if ethernet was also plugged in.
I decided to remove it from wpa_supplicant, shut down the service and tried to configure it with Network Manager to see if things changed.
I added it, but it couldn't connect (yes i double checked the password), so I removed it again.
These are the relevant commands from my historyEverything looks clean from the NM pov, so I don't think this is what caused the fuck up. But it's a mystery why it couldn't connect.
Since that didn't work I decided to try wpa_supplicant again.
I used raspi-config to try and set it up, but it too was not able to connect.
So i fell back to editing the config file directly.
Note that I have 2 different SSIDs
The Kearney Gaff
The Kearney IoT
I've tried both of them in wpa_supplicant.conf to no avail. This is the current contentThen I noticed in the journal that wpa_supplicant was always continuously failing to connect to the The Kearney IoT SSID.
This didn't make sense because The Kearney Gaff was in the config. I rebooted, thinking something's cached, but nothing changed.
I've checked all wpa_supplicant files that I could find but The Kearney IoT isn't in any of them.
Can someone shed some light on what could be going on here?
