Created attachment 1503299 [details] fc29 (not working) logs from /var/log/messages Description of problem: NetworkManager doesn't complete the connection to a "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise" (in particular I'm connecting to an eduroam access point: eduroam.org). This doesn't happen with WPA & WPA2 Personal WiFi connections. Looking at the NM cli monitor I see: # systemctl restart NetworkManager; nmcli monitor wlo1: disconnected wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: using connection 'eduroam' Networkmanager is now in the 'connecting' state wlo1: connecting (configuring) wlo1: connecting (need authentication) wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: connecting (configuring) wlo1: connecting (getting IP configuration) wlo1: connection failed Networkmanager is now in the 'disconnected' state and this is repeated over and over. This happens also with the newer NetworkManager packages in the updates repo (see below). Installing the NetworkManager RPM packages for fc28 didn't solve: # dnf install --releasever=28 --arch=x86_64 nm-connection-editor network-manager-applet NetworkManager{,{-glib,-libnm,-team,-adsl,-libnm,-wifi,-bluetooth,-ppp,-wwan}} # systemctl restart NetworkManager; nmcli monitor ... wlo1: connecting (getting IP configuration) wlo1: connection failed Networkmanager is now in the 'disconnected' state Instead, if I download and install packages for fc27, the *same* connection setup (using the same parameters I set in the network-manager-applet in my traybar) works perfectly (unfortunately the repo structure is different in fc27 so dnf is unable to download packages): # wget -Nc https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/n/{{nm-connection-editor,network-manager-applet}-1.8.4-1.fc27.x86_64.rpm,NetworkManager{,{-glib,-libnm,-team,-adsl,-libnm,-wifi,-bluetooth,-ppp,-wwan}}-1.8.4-2.fc27.x86_64.rpm} # dnf install *fc27* # systemctl restart NetworkManager; nmcli monitor wlo1: disconnected wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: using connection 'eduroam' Networkmanager is now in the 'connecting' state wlo1: connecting (need authentication) wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: connecting (configuring) eduroam: connection profile changed eduroam: connection profile changed wlo1: connecting (getting IP configuration) wlo1: connecting (checking IP connectivity) wlo1: connecting (starting secondary connections) wlo1: connected 'eduroam' is now the primary connection Networkmanager is now in the 'connected (site only)' state eduroam: connection profile changed Connectivity is now 'full' Networkmanager is now in the 'connected' state While the connection is being loaded with fc28-fc29 packages, `ifconfig wlo1` reports: wlo1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::a1d5:dcb9:b98c:4f28 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:23:14:09:0b:64 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 376462 bytes 413675633 (394.5 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 276193 bytes 131944899 (125.8 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The following packages are impacted (not reporting all the other packages: NetworkManager{,{-libnm,-team,-adsl,-libnm,-wifi,-bluetooth,-ppp,-wwan}} ): NetworkManager-1.12.4-2.fc29.x86_64.rpm (from fc29 updates repo) NetworkManager-1.12.4-1.fc29.x86_64.rpm (from fc29 base repo) NetworkManager-1.10.12-2.fc28.x86_64.rpm (from fc28) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup a "WPA & WPA2 Enterprise" connection, e.g. using the network manager applet in the XFCE traybar. In particular I'm trying to use an eduroam connection inside my university (so there are multiple access points around my laptop) and I don't have access to the access point. 2. Connect to the network you just setup. Actual results: The connection fails after a minute it tries to connect, apparently in the phase of obtaining the IP. Expected results: Connect to the WiFi network. Logs from /var/log/messages are attached for both the fc29 (not working) and fc27 (working) packages.

Can you please try this: nmcli connection modify eduroam wifi-sec.pmf disable and connect again?
It worked! # nmcli connection modify eduroam wifi-sec.pmf disable # systemctl restart NetworkManager; nmcli monitor wlo1: disconnected wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: using connection 'eduroam' Networkmanager is now in the 'connecting' state wlo1: connecting (need authentication) wlo1: connecting (prepare) wlo1: connecting (configuring) wlo1: connecting (getting IP configuration) wlo1: connecting (checking IP connectivity) wlo1: connecting (starting secondary connections) wlo1: connected 'eduroam' is now the primary connection Networkmanager is now in the 'connected (site only)' state Connectivity is now 'full' Networkmanager is now in the 'connected' state Is this something that I can't set inside the editor? Because when I open the connection with the nm editor, I find a warning at the bottom: "The connection contains some properties not supported by the editor. They will be cleared upon save." And if I hover it with my pointer I see: "Unsupported properties: 802-11-wireless-security.pmf"
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
