Cannot connect to WPA network after switched to Dynamic WEP
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:34:58 UTC
1. Connect to a known wireless network with WPA/WPA2 Personal authentication 2. Once connected, edit the connection 3. In "Wi-Fi Security" select "Dynamic WEP", then "Tunneled TLS" as the authentication, enter bogus values in "anonymous identity", "username" and password". Tick the "No CA certificate is required" checkbox. 4. "nmcli connection down <connection id>" 5. "nmcli connection up <connection id>" (you can press Ctrl+C when you're bored) 6. Re-edit the connection 7. Select WPA/WPA Personal in "Wi-Fi Security", and put in the actual Wi-Fi password 8. Run "nmcli connection up <connection id>" again " Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'test'. Warning: password for '802-11-wireless-security.psk' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option. " It will then ask for the password in a loop, and never allow connection. NetworkManager libraries and nm-connection-editor from git master. Daemon from system packages: NetworkManager-1.2.2-2.fc24.x86_64
bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
