Hide Forgot
Description of problem: I cannot connect to my iPhone hotspot at all using the latest NetworkManager . I configured another access point to do wep authentication and this requires me to re-authenticate every 30 seconds. Downgrading NetworkManger seems to fix the issue.
I should have mentioned the last version of NetworkManager-wifi I can get to work is 1.16.0-0.1.fc30.
To make it clear on the fc30 branch downgrading NetworkManager-wifi from version 1.16.0-0.3 to 1.16.0-0.1 corrects the issue. 1.16.0-0.1 is no longer available form the rawhide repositories.
Could you please do the following: 1. (add '-dd' to OTHER_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant) 2. systemctl restart wpa_supplicant 3. journalctl -u wpa_supplicant -u NetworkManager -f > log.txt & 4. nmcli connection up <name-of-the-hotspot-connection> # ^^ this should fail ^^ 5. kill %1 and attach the generated log.txt file? Thanks!
Ah, and please also run 'nmcli general logging level DEBUG' as root as first step.
can you also show the profile in question? what gives `nmcli connection show "$PROFILE_NAME"` ?
maybe fixed by https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=e1ef6c0b26e48bda2dc68cf2d693dc2b195916ee

can you test whether 1.16.0-1.fc30 fixes the issue?
(In reply to Thomas Haller from comment #9) > can you test whether 1.16.0-1.fc30 fixes the issue? That works fine for me. does that mean I don;t need to supply any of the debug info you asked for? I did not ignore the request, just was out of pocket for a couple of days on travel and no access to the laptops that had the issue'
Oh and I should have mentioned the not able to connect to an iPhone hotspot was kind of a red herring. I did not realize this never worked on the only machine I tried it on. I suspect its wifi adapter does not support any of the authentication methods that the iPhone does.

I verified that on a different computer system I was able to connect to the iPhone as a hotspot, so if this is a bug is is certainly a different one. As far as I am concerned this is all fixed by 1.16.0-1.
I have the same problem with NM 1.16.0-1: Mar 19 11:20:16 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[6812]: <info> [1552987216.4307] manager: NetworkManager state is now DISCONNECTED Mar 19 11:20:16 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[6812]: <warn> [1552987216.4322] device (wlo1): Activation: failed for connection 'MyNetwork' Mar 19 11:20:16 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[6812]: <info> [1552987216.4353] device (wlo1): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Mar 19 11:20:16 localhost.localdomain NetworkManager[6812]: <info> [1552987216.4524] device (wlo1): set-hw-addr: set MAC address (scanning) Mar 19 11:20:16 localhost.localdomain gnome-shell[1353]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point?
