[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#835553: network-manager: WiFi authentication fails after upgrade to 1.4.0

[Miguel A. Vallejo]

This bug seems to be even more problematic with kernel 4.12.0-1.


Kernel : 4.11.6-1
Firmware-misc-nonfree: 20170823-1
wpasupplicant: 2:2.4-1
Network Manager: 1.8.2-1
mac randomisation: ON
Device: Linksys WUSB600N v2 Dual-Band Wireless-N Network Adapter [Ralink RT3572]
Result: No connection


Kernel : 4.11.6-1
Firmware-misc-nonfree: 20170823-1
wpasupplicant: 2:2.4-1
Network Manager: 1.8.2-1
mac randomisation: OFF
Device: Linksys WUSB600N v2 Dual-Band Wireless-N Network Adapter [Ralink RT3572]
Result: Works like a charm

But with kernel 4.12.6-1 it is impossible to connect, no matter how is
mac randomisation. Same errors as before. Because everything stay the
same except the kernel maybe this is a kernel bug / regression.

Temporally I changed the device to an old D-Link System AirPlus G
DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter(rev.E1) [Ralink RT2070], and it just work
fine with mac randomisation off.
