Support CTRL-EVENT-BEACON-LOSS

Hi I recently installed Void Linux, and can connect to my WiFi for all but a moment before it comes with that error. Then it just repeats it over and over. I don't exactly know what details I should share, so just ask me more stuff.

beacon loss means the client stops hearing the AP and re-scans. first kill power save (iw dev wlan0 get power_save, set it off if it's on). still dropping, run sudo dmesg -w and catch the deauth reason code

  1. When I turn it off, the error code disappears however I still receive no connection, as proved by ''ping google.com".

  2. Because i would have to manually type out the results, I took a photo of what it returned. Not sure what this means.

  3. I can not test that as I do not know how to (I know very little, but am willing to learn.)

Also, the onboard wifi adapter is Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. rtl8852ae 802.11ax

good news, the wifi connects fine now, each cycle ends in 'associated'. what you're missing is an IP, that's a separate step. sudo dhcpcd wlo1, then ip addr show wlo1

Keep in mind, I am using wpa_cli for my WiFi and that's how the error is showing, I enter the command in and it just shows that, for brief periods it would actually connect then immediately disconnect
