Recently I found out that wl doesn't work properly like it used to be. Whether I use newer kernel or newer LTS version, it can turn on, get signal, but then can't connect due to Authencation problem.

I check lsmod and then saw that lib80211 lib80211_crypt_tkip didn't load yet so I tried to load it manually :

rmmod wl

modprobe lib80211

modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip

modprobe wl

the problem is still the same. But one thing I recognise in this lsmod below is that wl didn't even use lib80211.

So how can we fix this ?

you also need to update external/kernel-drivers alongside. It includes the wifi modules. Additionally I would update device/generic/firmware/ for latest firmware for newer Kernel.

I do update it, that's why I can compile for 5.x kernel
