I’m not sure when it started, but I’m being constantly bombarded with
wpa_supplicant[1917]: wlp4s0: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22
In my journal logs. Which is accumulating really fast:
» journalctl | grep "CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED" | wc -l
40375
I currently use an AX200 :
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (rev 1a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200NGW
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
And I haven’t touched my network config from the NixOS (unstable variant) defaults beyond manually enabling networkmanager (though the GNOME config already sets that, wpa_supplicant is used as the backend) and using dnscrypt with the wiki recommended setup (disabling it makes no difference).
The error “seems” harmless, because I can still view, connect and interact with networks just fine from the GNOME settings panel, so my guess its that it is related to active scanning, like the one mentioned in:
NetworkManager[151159]: <warn> [1732054149.8691] device (wlp4s0): wifi-scan: active scanning for networks due to profiles with wifi.hidden=yes. This makes you trackable
Though I’ve never enabled that explicitly.
I haven’t been able to find this exact issue while searching for the error it prints out. Does anyone have pointers that might help in diagnosing this?
