networkmanager wifi configuration does not work #435

Description

@AndreaBorgia-Abo

Used rpi-imager 1.9.6 on Linux, to write "bookworm 64 bit" on a new sdcard for my Raspi 3.
During the process I configured the wifi (ssid, key_mgmt, psk).
Router is configured with wpa2/wpa3 mixed mode.

After boot, wifi does not come up.
wpa_cli shows this error: "failed to select authenticated key management type"
Noted that wifi scanning works normally, so it is not a rfkill issue.
Shutdown, changed the sdcard back to the previous debian9 "stretch", works just fine.

Once more with "bookworm", I also tested:

  • I killed wpa_supplicant, created a minimal config file, started it again with this config, connection estabilished (old school, non-DBUS way)
  • via wpa_cli: add_network, set_network 0 ssid "MYSSID", set_network 0 psk "passphrase", enable_network 0 (connection is estabilished and dhclient can be manually started to complete process)
  • since router had wpa3 enabled (and some reports mentioned it might be an issue): disabled it, retested all, no changes: what worked still works, what did not still does not.
  • nmcli --ask dev wifi connect MYSSID : fails, same error

Possibly related ticket:
raspberrypi/linux#6265

So, somehow networkmanager is not setting up wpa_supplicant correctly.
The upgrade of my ADSB monitor station will happen another day, I am going to back to the older working installation.
