[Bug 1925408] Re: wpa3 is used regardless of manual setting

[Henning Häcker]

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected focal third-party-packages
ubiquity-20.04.15.10 ubuntu

** Description changed:

  
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using:
  ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64
  
  2) The version of the package:
  ubiquity 20.04.15.10
  
  3) What I expected to happen:
  The ubuntu installer should respect the user setting for the wifi connection's encryption type and establish a WPA2 connection if I select "WPA & WPA2 Personal".
  
  4) What happened instead:
  The installer ignores the setting and tries to establish a WPA3 connection, since the network is WPA3 capable. Since my wifi card does not support WPA I get an error message from the network-manager ("Activation of network connection failed") and can't use the wifi connection during installation.
  
  Workaround:
  Liveboot into Ubuntu ("Try Ubuntu") and properly setup the wifi connection before launching the installer.
  
  Some more details with dmesg logs:
