Description Bernie Innocenti 2021-05-16 18:38:19 UTC

SUMMARY

This happens to me while trying to connect to tether to an Android 11 phone using the default WPA3 authentication.

NOTE: this works fine from nmtui.
NOTE2: also works from nm-applet *after* the connection has been configured via nmtui

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure a wifi AP to WPA3 authentication (default for Android 11 tethering)
2. Go to nm-applet and select the AP
3. Type in the password

OBSERVED RESULT
A popup notification appears:

  Failed to add connection
  802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt: Access point does not support PSK but setting requires it


EXPECTED RESULT
The passphrase should be used to connect to the wifi AP.

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.21.5 is no longer supported by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer.
Your distribution is responsible for providing support for older versions of KDE software.

Please do one of the following:
- Upgrade to a supported version and see if the issue is still relevant
- Report the issue to your distribution
