Hi again,

I now managed to capture the event in the journal. I limited the auto connect 
retried to 4 in order to keep the log size manageable. I didn’t have 
debug-level logging active for NetworkManager at the time. I’ll enable that now 
and try to reproduce. Please find the log attached. The error seems to be 
happening at Oct 20 07:44:26.

Best regards,
Sven
