Faced a problem with WIFI with WPA and WPA2 for rtl8189etv under linux. When connected, it says that the password is incorrect. Collected the driver https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux. Tried it on different kernels linux-armv7-5.10.14, linux-armv7-5.8.9 the result is the same.

If you add when compiling the driver:
EXTRA_CFLAGS + = -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE
a second wlan device appears and it works fine with WPA and WPA2 in both access point and client mode.
But why isn't wlan0 working?

after a couple of minutes, the access point still breaks the connection and then you can connect only if nmcli connection up wlan1

It turned out that when accessing wlan0, wlan1 stops working.
For NetworkManager I decided like this:
nm-system-settings.conf:

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:38:01:46:4f:62:d7

Copy code
