I had an usb wireless adapter.

lsusb | rg -i wireless
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

Driver had been installed.

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git
cd rtl8188eu
make
sudo make install

Check wireless interface:

sudo iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.
enp6s0    no wireless extensions.
wlxe0e1a99f3bc6  unassociated  ESSID:""  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Auto  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Sensitivity:0/0  
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=0/100  Signal level=0 dBm  Noise level=0 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Bring up the wireless interface.
sudo ip link set dev wlxe0e1a99f3bc6 up
Search ESSID

sudo iwlist wlxe0e1a99f3bc6 scan | grep ESSID
                    ESSID:"myhost"

I knew the password ,connect with it.

wpa_passphrase myhost xxxx | sudo tee -a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlxe0e1a99f3bc6

I run into the issue:

Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlxe0e1a99f3bc6 disabled_11b_rates=0
wlxe0e1a99f3bc6: Failed to initialize driver interface

How to fix it?
