I can't connect anymore to my home wifi since upgrading my machine from
Ubuntu 16.10 to Ubuntu 17.04.
The problem exists with kernel 4.10.0-20-generic from Ubuntu, and
remains with kernel 4.11.0-rc6 that I built from
linux-wireless. However, I can connect to a wifi network without
authentication. In the following logs, beguiled is the SSID of the
WPA-protected I can't connect to and FreeWifi the unprotected one for
which the connection succeeds.
I also copied the firmware files from
git://git.marvell.com/mwifiex-firmware.git, without success.
Here are the relevant lines from syslog. Network manager complains about
a "WRONG_KEY" but obviously I have triple checked the key, simplified
it, and checked that I can succcessfully connect to the same network
from my Android phone.
Let me know if you need anything else to investigate.
Julien.

It turns out that the problem lies with NetworkManager, I managed to get
the wifi working with wpa_supplicant.

That's odd. Any idea what that was? MAC randomization? NM just uses
the supplicant underneath, so there's no particular reason NM wouldn't
work but wpa_supplicant itself would.

I don't know if MAC randomization is supposed to be happen but ifconfig
always display the same MAC address for the wifi interface. Also the
same wifi router allows connections without secrets with another ssid,
and I have no problem connecting in this case.

I'm using the following /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={

ssid="beguiled"

For the same ssid: NetworkManager uses the following
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/beguiled
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[connection]

Just to test, could you add:
auth_alg=OPEN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
scan_ssid=1
to the block and retry with the supplicant? I don't know why those
would make a difference but they might.
The reason code that is returned for the disconnect is unfortunately
WLAN_REASON_PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID which doesn't tell us much.

They don't: wpa_supplicant still connects with these settings.

Ok, at this point the only thing I can think of is the MAC
randomization that NM has. Please see:
https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-networkmanager-1-4-0/
and look at the section "Randomization during Wi-Fi scanning" where it
says:
----
This default behavior can be disabled with a global configuration
option in NetworkManager.conf:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
----
if you set that, and restart NetworkManager, does that magically make
things work?

Yes! It's now working fine, thanks a lot. I have my wifi AP set to only
accept a whitelist of MAC addresses so it makes sense that I can't
connect if the MAC address is random. I'll disable the randomization for
now on.

Well, ideally you wouldn't have to do this, but we haven't quite
figured out whether it's a bug in the way NM does randomization or
whether the drivers that require this switch (there are a few) are just
broken somehow.
