Thanks for the reply, I opened the following upstream issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/635
Though I'm not sure how effective that is going to be as ubuntu is not using the latest upstream NM so they just tell me "please update to latest version and report back"... ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues #635 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/635 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1912162 Title: NetworkManager managed wifi can't connect Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: My computer has an built-in intel ax200 adapter (the motherboard is asock taichi x570). With the latest stable 5.4 kernel on Ubuntu Focal 20.04 I cannot get the card to connect to my home wifi (2.4ghz). The errors I get are : iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: No beacon heard and the time event is over already... wlp5s0: Connection to AP 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce lost wlp5s0: send auth to 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce (try 2/3) Initially I thought this could be due to a problem with the iwlwifi driver and the firmware used. I upgraded to a custom-build (using ubuntu's configuration) 5.10 kernel And now the errors I was getting were: [нд яну 17 22:01:33 2021] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: No beacon heard and the session protection is over already... [нд яну 17 22:01:33 2021] wlp5s0: Connection to AP 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce lost [нд яну 17 22:01:33 2021] wlp5s0: send auth to 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce (try 3/3) [нд яну 17 22:01:34 2021] wlp5s0: authentication with 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce timed out [нд яну 17 22:01:35 2021] wlp5s0: authenticate with 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce [нд яну 17 22:01:35 2021] wlp5s0: send auth to 30:b5:c2:75:a4:ce (try 1/3) [нд яну 17 22:01:36 2021] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: No beacon heard and the session protection is over already...

At this point I was willing to accept this is an issue with the kernel. However, I added the following configuration to /etc/network/interfaces: allow-hotplug wlp5s0 iface wlp5s0 inet dhcp wpa-ssid HOME wpa-psk <REDACTED> wpa-debug-level 2 And what do you know - I was able to connect to my home wifi with no problems. I'm attaching the output of wpa_supplicant run with -dd from both the /etc/network/interfaces-based configuration (wpa_supplicant_working) and from the NetworkManager managed one ( I have edited /lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service to include -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant -dd) options. I wasn't able to figure any glaring differences between the flows of the two.
