Hello evryone, I need help with this annoying problem where I can’t connect to some specific wifi even though I’m entering the correct password.
I went to a coffee house near my in-laws for some alone time where I got this annoying problem again. I was able to connect normally to their wifi (TP VSTM) using my phone but not on my laptop. So I made a QR image of that wifi (on my phone while connecting to it) and read it online (on my laptop) to make sure I’m entering the correct password. I tried connecting using nmtui at first but it kept prompting me to re-enter the password, then using nmcli which showed a message about a secret not provided.

journalctl -b 0 -f -u NetworkManager.service | tee networkmanager.log
The log shows :
Activation: (wifi) asking for new secrets
device (wlp2s0): no secrets: No agents were available for this request.
device (wlp2s0): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed')
<info> [1704445064.8171] manager: NetworkManager state is now DISCONNECTED
but I didn’t get any prompt other than the one asking my root password for connecting.
What I have: I’m running OpenSUSE Slowroll (latest upgrade as of today) with Sway WM (the openSUSEway pattern)
Infos about my system:
lspci shows Realtek RTL8852AE which is a Wifi6 (ax) adapter, It may not support the latest standard but I don’t think it’s that old.
You could always try to “downgrade” the wifi to b/g/n on uour roiter and see if it works then.
