Works perfectly fine on my hotspot's wifi. Currently working around this by using a wired connection. This also works fine on other networks. However, nothing on this network has changed post-upgrade. I have just noticed this exact, same behavior on my Thinkpad W541 with F28 and the 4.17.2-200 kernel. I also freshly installed F28 a couple weeks ago. Previously, I was using F25 with no issues connecting to any wifi networks. I do know that the wifi was able to associate and connect to my work's guest network after the F28 install, but I cannot recall if my home network has been working since the update. Usually I have the laptop docked with hard wired connection, but am on vacation this week and cannot connect to the wifi AP in my rental house. Weird thing is, all my other devices (android and windows 10) can connect to this AP. And when I enable the hotspot on my mobile, my laptop associates and authenticates to the mobile hotspot. I can see verbatim the exact messages in my logs that Nigel has posted here. And the wireless device on my laptop is also the Intel 7260 (rev bb). I was finally able to locate an ethernet cable and directly connect to the Access Point - a Technicolor TC8717T. The default encrytption was set to WPA2-PSK(AES), and when I changed it to 'open' and rebooted the device, I was eventually able to associate and obtain an IP via wifi. However, when I tried to change the security back to any of the other WPA options, I was unable to connect. I wonder if this could be a bug in the wpa_supplicant package? --Chris I upgraded from Fedora 28 last night and I can no longer connect to my wifi access point. No othe rchanges have happened and my other devices can still connect.

I removed it and installed the Fedora 27 version 2.6-11.fc27. It now works. Phil I wonder - Could this also have something to do with the way the model of wireless access point is configured and/or is implementing WPA/WPA2 security? I am back home now, and currently working on my home wifi Access Point. My home AP is a TP-LINK Archer C9 model, and security is set to WPA/WPA2-Personal and it is set up to automatically negotiate WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK, TKIP, and AES dependent on how the client tries to connect. Everything is working fine for me right now with F28 and the following package: wpa_supplicant-2.6-16.fc28.x86_64 The AP in my rental was a model that is supplied by Spectrum/Time Warner (Technicolor TC8717T) and it most definitely did not allow my F28 laptop to associate unless I completely disabled security. --Chris Output of iwconfig when connected to my home AP: wlp3s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"Midian_5G" Mode:Managed Frequency:5.22 GHz Access Point: 60:E3:27:AD:74:A8 Bit Rate=300 Mb/s Tx-Power=22 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-38 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:28 Missed beacon:0 (In reply to Chris Tatman from comment #7) > I wonder - Could this also have something to do with the way the model of > wireless access point is configured and/or is implementing WPA/WPA2 > security? > > I am back home now, and currently working on my home wifi Access Point.

Another user reported troubles when trying to connect to TC8717T using f28 (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578486#c10 ). he managed to connect successfully by disabling PMF on the client, as follows: $ nmcli connection modify wifi-sec.pmf disable; nmcli connection up can any of you try this? thanks! -- davide I can confirm that wifi-sec.pmf gets wifi to connect successfully thanks Nigel, marking as duplicate of bz1578486. It would be great if we obtain a capture of EAPOL packets exchanged with the TC8717 when pmf is 'optional' on the client: # tcpdump -i any -s0 ether proto 0x8888e (the 'any' is needed as wpa_supplicant wlp4s0 changes state when you try connecting to the AP) so that at least we understand what's written in the RSN element. Thank you in advance! regards, -- davide *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1578486 *** |
