http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176734 Bug ID: 1176734 Summary: Wireless lan in AP-mode with WPA2: cannot establish any connection Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Leap 15.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: debug@fantasymail.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Overview: - Configured an access point (AP) for RTL8191SEvB device (driver rtl8192se) - Selected WPA2 - Cannot establish any connection with this AP -> "authentication error" - Everything works fine if "no security" is selected - Similar to bug from 2018?: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570903 - But workaround "set 802-11-wireless-security.pmf disable" does not help! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable wifi, e.g. via <Fn>-F1 (WLAN On/Off) 2. Enable wireless connections via NetworkManager applet 3. Add new, wireless system connection, define name and SSID, e.g. "linux42-wlan" 4. Select mode "Access Point" 5. Set Wifi security to "WPA2 Personal" and enter a pass phrase (for all users) 6. Set IPv4 address, manual mode, e.g. 192.168.111.1 7. Save and activate the AP 8. Try to connect (I did not configure DHCP, used static IP on clients) Actual Results: Any attempt to establish a connection with this access point failed (tested with several Android devices, Nokia N900, and another Linux PC), always reporting "authentication error".
