Package: network-manager
Version: 1.2.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

WiFi authentication fails after upgrading to network-manager 1.4.0. Workaround
is to downgrade to 1.2.4, which restores connection. This bug looks different
to #817123 as the device (external USB WiFi adapter) is detected and it appears
that only authentication is failing.

After these upgrades:

libnm-glib-vpn1:amd64 (1.2.4-2, 1.4.0-1),
libnm-glib4:amd64 (1.2.4-2, 1.4.0-1),
libnm-gtk-common:amd64 (1.2.4-1, 1.4.0-1),
libnm-gtk0:amd64 (1.2.4-1, 1.4.0-1)
libnm-util2:amd64 (1.2.4-2, 1.4.0-1),
libnm0:amd64 (1.2.4-2, 1.4.0-1),
libnma-common:amd64 (1.2.4-1, 1.4.0-1)
libnma0:amd64 (1.2.4-1, 1.4.0-1),
network-manager-gnome:amd64 (1.2.4-1, 1.4.0-1),
network-manager:amd64 (1.2.4-2, 1.4.0-1),

WiFi connection fails and daemon.log contains:

After downgrading to:

libnm-glib-vpn1_1.2.4-2_amd64.deb
libnm-glib4_1.2.4-2_amd64.deb
libnm-gtk-common_1.2.4-1_all.deb

libnma0_1.2.4-1_amd64.deb
network-manager-gnome_1.2.4-1_amd64.deb
network-manager_1.2.4-2_amd64.deb

Then:

systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

WiFi connection succeeds and daemon.log contains:
