AX 201 Wi-Fi authentication reject on Linux status_code=15

[MVA]

After reinstalling Fedora 40 KDE Linux, GUI just shows “Configuring interface” and is unable to connect. My router is using OpenWRT, but worked without problems. The Wi-Fi worked out of the box before, works now on dual-booted Windows, also laptop connects to my phones Wi-Fi hotspot without issues.

I've tried Fedora 40 LiveUSB, Fedora 39 and 40 netinst, the problem. I've also downgraded iwlwifi-mvm-firmware package from 20240513-1.fc40 to 20240312-1.fc40 this also did not help.

I suspect that something is wrong with the firmware in boot partition, since it is the only thing that changed.

My laptop is HP Elitebook 840 G8.

Here is some potentially helpful info with excerpts from journalctl I've thought useful.

Hello MVA, 

Thank you for posting in the communities. I appreciate the details you have sent with us. For a more proper investigation, would you be able to share with us the .txt file of your SSU logs as well? I will be waiting for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

Since that time I've factory reset my router (Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition running OpenWRT), after this the 2.4 GHz network started working. After changing encryption method and returning it to the original "mixed WPA2/WPA3 PSK, SAE (CCMP)" 5 GHz network started working fine. Not sure what was the root cause of the issue.

I've added the SSU file for additional information, but the help isn't needed that much now.

Hello MVA, 

Thank you for sharing the logs. Seeing that the 5 GHz network started working fine now, would you like for us to close this case for now? You can always create a new thread should the issue arise in the future. I will be waiting for your reply.
