wifi WPA3-Personal with ax210 connect failed in AP mode On Ubuntu 20.04

ChunjieHao · ‎12-08-2021

I am having an issue with network manager when creating a hotspot on my device. After some troubleshooting I was able to narrow the issue down to setting WPA3 as the encryption protocol. On WPA2 the hotspot works without issue. There is no warning when setting WPA3 in nm-connection-editor.

I generally use nmcli to start the hotspot via nmcli con up hotspot it fails with the error: Error:Error: Connection activation failed: 802.1X supplicant took too long to authenticate
Hint: use 'journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=51931e8f-e06d-4f86-aefa-d7604162e806 + NM_DEVICE=wlp2s0' to get more details.

gephw@gepserver:~$ journalctl -xe NM_CONNECTION=51931e8f-e06d-4f86-aefa-d7604162e806 + NM_DEVICE=wlp2s0
