[Bug 1893563] Re: netplan: can't login to ap mode with psk

[Andrej Shadura]

Right, my apologies, I was too quick to be angry: I only checked the
patch proposed here but not the actual one committed — and apparently I
haven’t read the discussion to the end.

Having checked the actual package, I see it is in fact a patch from the
upstream Git.

Still, it’d be great if you could at least notify me, and it would be
much better if we could first push such changes into Debian first.

Title:
  netplan: can't login to ap mode with psk

Status in NetworkManager:
  Unknown
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I've setup my wifi cards as ap over a bridge using netplan.
  If I add:

  auth:
    key-management: psk
    password: "testinglang"

  then my clients are unable to connect.
  If I remove those lines above in netplan then the clients are able to connect but without a password.

  If I run wpa_cli -i wlp3s0 status, I get:

  bssid=4c:1d:96:71:a3:90
  freq=2412
  ssid=walad2
  id=0
  mode=AP
  pairwise_cipher=CCMP+TKIP
  group_cipher=TKIP
  key_mgmt=UNKNOWN
  wpa_state=COMPLETED
  p2p_device_address=4c:1d:96:71:a3:91
  address=4c:1d:96:71:a3:90
  uuid=85d86b40-7e3d-5fc5-b5fc-aae9af55b29a

  I notice that key_mgmt=UNKNOWN. Perhaps that's the problem?

  Any pointers on how to debug and fix this?
