After New update, I can't connect to my institute wifi

I’m using fedora 41, I alway update fedora as early as possible. But today at NOV 17 when i installed new update (I don’t remember update number or data regarding that), My wifi not connecting institute wifi (interprise wifi).

Hi and welcome to :fedora:
Assuming it was the last update you did.
sudo dnf history info last

You can also go look through what’s been upgraded by:
sudo dnf history list
and then doing
sudo dnf history info transaction id

You may also want to try booting to an earlier kernel.

As an example

sudo grub2-reboot 1

Would boot index 1 which is the previous kernel 6.11.7

Added f41, wifi

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

I have the exact same problem (Fedora 41, KDE Spin), since the last update, on two different machines. Both are relatively new HP laptops (Dragonfly G4 and Elitebook G10). The affected WiFi connection needs both username and password.

On one machine, where the connection is new and was never used, journalctl -u NetworkManager shows Activation: (wifi) association took too long and Activation: (wifi) asking for new secrets. A popup says “Incorrect password for the wireless network “…”. Please try again.”). Re-entering the password in the popup does not work.

On the other machine, where the connection was last used yesterday, journalctl -u NetworkManager shows Activation: (wifi) association took too long and Activation: failed for connection '...'. A popup “No Secrets were provided” is shown.

Booting into an older kernel does not fix the problem (current: 6.11.7, tested: 6.11.5). sudo dnf history list and sudo dnf history info last don’t return anything.

This seems to have bitten a few people, and there is an open bug for it RH Bugzilla #2326839

See this thread as well, which includes some suggested fixes.

Thanks everyone for pointing to the thread and the solution. uninstalling pkcs11-provider and rebooting solved the issue!
