TL-WR842N v5 Wireless is not associated

[ShamanInCap]

Hi. I've been using OpenWRT 19.07.3 just fine with WPA2 on my wi-fi. Yesterday saw 19.07.4, updated, and then i learned about WPA3. It looked interesting to try.
Removed wpad-basic. Installed wpad-openssl

Wireless is not associated

Then tried to install different wpad and hostapd packages - all the same. Right now i have installed wpad-basic, and still got error.
Please, let me find what exactly i broke

@ShamanInCap, welcome to the community!

I've experienced the same issue:

When can I expect WPA3 in Openwrt?

Same here. I tried to add it too... Per the Wiki: To use the WPA3 modes as access point, it is required to install the hostapd-openssl package. To use the WPA3 modes as station (client), it is required to install the wpa-supplicant-openssl package. To support both access point and station modes with WPA3, it is possible to install the wpad-openssl package. After installing hostapd-openssl - I had to reset my device as well. WPA3 was listed as options; but I could not enable my APs. …

Thank you for your reply. Saw this commands on wiki - tried them. Sometimes got conflict of packages - removed every wpad* and hostapd* packages, rebooted, successfully installed wpad-openssl, but still got wi-fi error

I got a thougt that it might be not package, but wi-fi drivers, as WPA3 is showing in list.

Finally got it. As i thought - it was drivers. Somehow, i deleted kmod-mt76 and kmod-mt76-core. Because of that, even wifi config couldn't create right basic config. Installed, successfully created AP, choosed WPA3...

And it turns out my Redmi 5 can't work with WPA3.

Everything was futile. But, now i know what to do if something goes wrong
