Package: wpasupplicant Version: 2:2.10-12 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have been using wpasupplucant with NetworkManager under KDE for several years, in order to make an access point in my study (where the home wifi signal is too weak). I've been using a Samsung S9 phone, and all was well. Lately, I bought a newer phone -- a Samsung S20 -- and with that phone, I could not connect to the access point. I searched high and low, until I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/soqzo4/unable_to_connect_to_hotspot_made_with/ with the recommendation to use iwd instead of wpasupplicant. And just like for that responder, iwd "just worked". In addition to the S20 refusing to connect, I also have a laptop running Ubuntu 20.04. When that laptop was scanning the relevant network (with wpasupplicant), the access point showed up with "unknown encryption scheme". With iwd, it says "WPA2-PSK". (just to make perfectly clear: the computer where the backend was switched is a Debian desktop. The laptop uses whatever is default in Ubuntu, and nothing in it was changed). BTW the Reddit page leads to a KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449265 but my guess would be that the bug is not in KDE, but somewhere between wpasupplicant and NetworkManager. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (800, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_IL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages wpasupplicant depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii libc6 2.37-6 ii libdbus-1-3 1.14.8-2 ii libnl-3-200 3.7.0-0.2+b1 ii libnl-genl-3-200 3.7.0-0.2+b1 ii libnl-route-3-200 3.7.0-0.2+b1 ii libpcsclite1 2.0.0-1 ii libreadline8 8.2-1.3 ii libssl3 3.0.9-1 wpasupplicant recommends no packages.
