I have a 2.4Ghz wifi at home, which I know is working since it's being used by printers, cameras, smartphones, etc.
I initially tried to configure the connection from terminal on a piOS lite (debian12 bookworm) and I was getting authentication errors:
I am using wpa2 at home, and I configured the `wifi-sec.key_mgmt` parameter as "wpa-psk". I tried leaving `wifi-sec.proto` as default (it should work with both wpa and wpa2) or by specifying 'rns' to support only wpa2.
Since I was still in doubt about possible configuration issues, I tried with a fresh piOS image with GUI and still, I was unable to connect.
On the access point side, I can confirm that the communication was started and that the issue is in the handshaking:
This bothers me a lot, since I don't understand why the rpi zero 2w has issues with the home wifi, even if I configured it as other devices that are ok with that.
I am using the same command to create the connection via nmcli on my laptop and everything is fine there: the connection is created and I am able to connect without authentication issues.
By the way, I create the connection by:Any ideas?
I initially tried to configure the connection from terminal on a piOS lite (debian12 bookworm) and I was getting authentication errors:
This was not true, since I provided the password in the 'wifi-sec.psk' parameter using nmcli, and I checked that it was there with `nmcli`. I tried also adding "--ask" when activating the connection, but, even if I tried multiple times providing the password when prompted, it was consistently failing the handshaking.Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'xxx'.Warning: password for '802-11-wireless-security.psk' not given in 'passwd-file' and nmcli cannot ask without '--ask' option.
Error: Connection activation failed: Secrets were required, but not provided.

The strange thing is that I am able to connect to mobile hotspots, which are wpa2/wpa3 as my home AP.xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx@conn24 disassociated, key handshake failure, signal strength -yy
