Public bug reported:

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...

The change of message is because newer versions of the driver/firmware have 
moved part of the processing in firmware. 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.
