Unknown Error When Getting a Key from A Wii U

This usually occurs if wpa_supplicant(_drc) fails to launch.

Check the logs at ~/.drc-sim/log.

nl80211: Could not set interface '<interface_name>' UP

If this is in the log wpa_supplicant_drc.log, attempt to bring the interface up with ifconfig.

ifconfig <interface_name> up

A response of SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory is generally a sign of missing drivers. See wireless interface.

No Wii U Interfaces Appear in the Dropdown List

System interfaces will be scanned and compatible wireless interfaces will be shown. If no interfaces are shown the system has no 5Ghz wireless interfaces available.

Device is Managed by Network Manager

If the system has network-manager, there will be a prompt to set the chosen Wii U interface to unmanaged. This prevents network-manager from using this interface, allowing connections to the Wii U (wpa_supplicant_drc). Unfortunately, it also prevents network-manger from using the interface for normal wireless connections.

Network connectivity will be lost if the interface chosen is the system's primary interface.

Note: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is modified with the interface's MAC address added as an unmanaged device.

A System Memory Error has Occured

This message appears when a Wii U is attempting its initial setup.

First, attempt to use the appropriate region data for the Wii U. If the region is not listed, use the NA region data.

Error Code: 165-9901

The update cannot be completed using a Wii U gamepad designed for a different region.

Use the correct region if available, no region, or select "None".

If a region is missing and you wish to contribute, see Region Data.
