Hi, if have an rtl8712u based usb wifi adapter which was working properly in fedora27. Since upgrade to fedora28, networkmanager keeps asking for the password and does not connect to the wifi. The password is indeed correct, but it still won't connect. dmesg indicates no problem with kernel 4.16.16 usb 2-1.2: r8712u: Loading firmware from "rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin" usbcore: registered new interface driver r8712u r8712u 2-1.2:1.0 wlp0s29u1u2: renamed from wlan0 IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp0s29u1u2: link is not ready the outputs are the same compared to kernel 4.16.17 of fedora 27, where it connects successfully. Even the commandline approach won't work: nmcli d wifi connect LINKSYS password mypassword ifname wlp0s29u1u2 which gives the error message Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided. (same thing works properly in fedora27) Any ideas what other logs i could provide? Any chance of fixing this bug?
Hi, can you please do the following: 1. set level=TRACE in the [logging] section of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf 2. append "-dd" to OTHER_ARGS variable in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant. For example: OTHER_ARGS="-u -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid -s -dd" 3. systemctl restart wpa_supplicant 4. systemctl restart NetworkManager 5. try to connect 6. attach the output of: journalctl -u NetworkManager -u wpa_supplicant --since="2 minutes ago" 7. attach the output of: "iw phy0 info; lshw -c net" Thanks! Also, can you please try disabling PMF for the Wi-Fi connection is the following way: nmcli connection modify <name-of-wifi-connection> wifi-sec.pmf disable and try to connection again?
please find the output attached here (data.7z)

additionally, i followed your second request: nmcli connection modify uuid 265552e7-8c7e-484b-9dfb-363b7193bdc2 wifi-sec.pmf disable nmcli connection up uuid 265552e7-8c7e-484b-9dfb-363b7193bdc2 --ask Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'WLAN-6F2848'. Password (802-11-wireless-security.psk): Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/13) ...and, it's working! so, what is the fuzz about wifi-sec.pmf? Why does disabling protected management frames help? wifi-usb-stick too old?
