Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 2:2.9+git20200213+877d9a0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Debian testing - regular package update
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Effect was immediate - can no longer connect to WPA/WPA2 home wifi
Home wifi SSID detected, but no ability to securely connect.
System repeatedly requests wifi password; proper password given in pop-up
dialog and alternately manually in the NetworkManager wifi Connection
Information file to no effect.
Wifi network password positively verified by inspection of router configuration
Packages for wpasupplicant and laptop wifi firmware reinstalled; still will not
connect upon providing proper password
Wifi connection fully deleted and reinstalled via NetworkManager; still will
not connect upon providing proper password
Wifi router shut down and restarted; still will not connect upon providing
proper password
Laptop computer shut down and restarted; still will not connect upon providing
proper password
Combinations of the above actions taken; still will not connect upon providing
proper password
I CAN connect to the wifi router by using the associated 'open' (guest)
account. This indicates that my laptop hardware and software, and the router
hardware are OK.
Something related to passwords for WPA/WPA2 security changed in the latest
2.9+git20200213 version that prevents my system from connecting to a secure
wifi connection.
Thanks for looking into this issue.
