hello everyone, I recently bought a thinkpad t480s and decided to install Fedora 41. Right after installation the wifi was working perfectly, but after completing the most recent updates on the Software app, I was unable to connect to the school wifi. When I press on the button to connect, it loads for about 1 minute and then asks for authentication and after inputing the info it proceeds to load for another minute and ask for authentication again. It fully disconnects me after two cycles of typing in authentication. Some help would be greatly appreciated. When I press āforget connectionā and then try to reconnect, the wifi requires WPA2 security, PEAP authentication, and a CA certificate as well, I donāt if that means anything though. Thanks
im able to connect to my personal hotspot on my phone though
Same here, please find some solution fast. I was trying to do some resetting and in the way i have broke my fedora and dual booted windows with it, lost all the data.
Same issue here
Related problem here. Iāve seen a few issues with Fedora 41 and kinda rolled back to 40 but still facing issues (canāt reinstall 40 completely rn but some problems like keyboard and SELinux went away or are less frequent).
In my system I can connect to the Uni wifi normally but there seems to be an issue with mismatching certificates. It freaks out when it notices Iām in a āpublicā network and some sites canāt go through (basic stuff like google maps, some general google searches but not others, instagram, etc). The problem seems to be more or less confined to Firefox; other browsers (like Opera in my case) donāt have it.
Hey look at this once,
run sudo dnf remove pkcs11-provider
and restart.
I had the same problem too, and I solved it. THANKS!
Mine works aswell, thanks!!!
This saved my bacon thank you so much
I solved it according to the method you said, now I can connect to schoolās eduroam. Thanks a lot!!!
As mentioned in one of the comments on the bugtracker, sudo dnf downgrade pkcs11-provider
also works.
Had the same issue. Thought it was the certificateā¦ Removing the pkcs11-provider package solved the issue. Thanks a lot, this saved me some trouble!
I had the same authentication issue with eduroam after an update and fixed it with saikamalās solution!
Hi,
I was able to fix the problem by changing the inner authentication [ there is an option in Wi-Fi settings > Wi-Fi security ] method from āMSCHAPV2ā to āGTCā. This latter method [ GTC ] seems to be more secure than the former [ MSCHAPV2 ] . See ( Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol - Wikipedia ) . But GTC is not supported by microsoft products.
If any of the statements made above are wrong please correct me.
Hi! The fix of removing pkcs11-provider kinda worked for me, but Iām still unable to connect via ethernet and when connected via wifi, i have to quite frequently restart wifi from gnome settings as it just stops working for some reason?
Regarding the wifi problem, journalctl shows that the service NetworkManager-dispatcher.service is repeatedly being started then deactivated, not sure if this is expected?
Did you either remove or downgrade the pkcs11-provide package as discussed above?
Yeah iāve removed that package which allowed me to connect to wifi, but then it stopped providing internet access randomly throughout the day, which could be fixed by just restarting NetworkManager each time.
I seem to have fixed this (i think) by using MSCHAPv2 (no EAP) as opposed to just MSCHAPv2, but Iām still unable to connect via ethernet though
Edit: nevermind, still having the same issue, but much less frequently, when using MSCHAPv2 (No EAP)
