sorry to jump on this . could you point me to some info ? i got the netgear ac600 dual band . am using rtl8812au drivers to work in ubuntu , and from what i can tell them drivers stop DRC sim getting the key . you know of any other drivers i could use that will work with netgear ac600 and drc sim?

[opencma]

@mynameistakenhowcanthatb There are various forks of the rtl8812au drivers, but the ones I have tried have all had the same issue.

Just to document the error - a successful authentication vs a failed one:

• rt2800usb.txt
• rtl8812au.txt

you know if there is any way to get it to work ? or other drivers i could try ?

He'll update the topic if he knew

After looking into the patch, I do not see anything specific to wpa_supplicant. Results from iw list suggest that the driver does not support authenticate commands, however, using authentication details from a successful pairing via another device (with a spoofed MAC address) a connection can be established. A response from the Wii U is never given when making a request for an address via DHCP. I do not know if the fault lies in hardware, driver, or wpa_supplicant.

thanks for looking in to it . where do i find the paring info that i can copy ? got it working on a laptop and want to get it to work on my pc . spoofed the mac address

[opencma]

The connection information is stored at ~/.drc-sim/connect_to_wii_u.conf. I am interested in seeing the log, however, I expect the device will not receive any data from the Wii U after a connection.

cool did everything spoofed the mac and add the config . but did not work :( with the error i get is in the log "Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
wlan0: Failed to initialize driver interface"
the drivers i am using is this https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git .
so i take it seems to be a driver problem random tho, if i scan be for i load sim i can pic up the wii u in the wifi network . am using netgear ac600 with them drivers . i am still a noob to this . you know of any fix for WPA supplicant or a driver i could use instead of rtl8812au ? thanks for all the info and help

@mynameistakenhowcanthatb Last I tried, I was using the first of these drivers.

The driver looks to be handling its own cipher keys here. I will experiment with a fork updated to use Wii U compatible keys.

I updated this driver. It is able to pair and connect successfully, but there is still no data from the Wii U.
