WiFi connection error: deauthenticating by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

  • 772

I'm encountering a connection issue to my university WiFi network that I cannot solve: when attempting to connect, I get the following message with dmesg -T : 

[ven. oct. 11 12:32:04 2019] wlan0: deauthenticating from X by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

This problem has already been pointed out in the forum, but none of the solutions I tried worked:

  • Disabling the powersave for WiFi (in /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf set wifi.powersave = 2 ).
  • Changing from NetworkManager to WICD.

  • Adding the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf:

    net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

None of these worked.

  1. I just met this problem this morning and fixed it.

    Here is my suggestion.

    Set your WiFi to no password mode to simplify the operation to connect.

    Turn off net services:

    systemctl list-units | grep -iE '(net|dhcp|wpa|conn|wicd)'

    and you can see some services is running

    systemctl stop [your running services]

    Open your wlan0:

    ifconfig wlan0 up

    Connect wifi:

    iwconfig wlan0 essid [your wifi name]

    DHCP IP:

    dhclient wlan0
