Public bug reported:

There are reproduce-able WiFi aborts with 20.04.1 LTS since update to
kernel 5.4.0-56.

Behaviour: nm-applet shows a window to enter the WLAN key that is pre-
filled. Hitting the "Connect" button reconnects the WiFi network for a
small period.

The error occurs sometimes very often (e.g. 10 times/minute) or seldom
(only one per day). You can see it in /var/log/syslog at the entry

>>> wpa_supplicant[xxx]: l2_packet_send - sendto: No buffer space
available

As a result 4-Way-Handshake fails and after disconnection the new (old) key is 
requestet.
>>> wpa_supplicant[xxx]: wlp3s0: WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key 
>>> may be incorrect
>>> NetworkManager[xxx]: <info> [xxx] device (wlp3s0): Activation: (wifi) 
>>> disconnected during association, asking for new key

There are a lot of people having this problem (see discussion in german
