Description of problem: After upgrading FC27 to FC29, Network Manager can 'see' my 5G wireless access point but is unable to negotiate a connection. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wpa_supplicant-2.7-1.fc29.x86_64 How reproducible: Disabling PMF with the following command : $ nmcli connection modify MY_APNAME-5G wifi-sec.pmf disable; nmcli connection up MY_APNAME-5G Allows connection to the 5G access point. Re-enabling PMF with the following command: $ nmcli connection modify MY_APNAME-5G wifi-sec.pmf default; nmcli connection up MY_APNAME-5G Returns the failure to negotiate a connection. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt connection to a 5G access point that supports PMF with PMF enabled on the client. 2. Fail to get IP. 3. Actual results: Unable to connect to 5G PMF supported Wireless Access Point. Expected results: Should be able to connect to a 5G wireless Access Point that supports PMF with client PMF set at 'default' Additional info: Messages log: Jan 12 21:11:38 my-hostname NetworkManager[1057]: <info> [1547327498.9040] device (wlp12s0): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Jan 12 21:11:38 my-hostname NetworkManager[1057]: <info> [1547327498.9044] device (wlp12s0): Activation: (wifi) access point 'MY_APNAME-5G' has security, but secrets are required.
