At your prompting I did run journalctl | grep -i wlan0 | grep -i failed which yielded a repeating pattern of messages ending with: Sep 22 09:30:54 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=1 duration=10 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:31:11 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=2 duration=20 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:31:27 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=1 duration=10 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:31:44 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=2 duration=20 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:31:45 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=1 duration=10 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:32:02 raspberrypi wpa_supplicant[823]: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SSID-TEMP-DISABLED id=0 ssid="d-link.zefox.net" auth_failures=2 duration=20 reason=CONN_FAILED Sep 22 09:32:10 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727022730.2605] device (wlan0): state change: config -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Sep 22 09:32:10 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727022730.2612] device (wlan0): Activation: failed for connection 'preconfigured' Sep 22 09:32:10 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727022730.2614] device (wlan0): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') as the last block of text. No errors after roughly the time I changed the network settings to add Device wlan0, which was done mid-morning on the 22nd, I think. Running journalctl | grep -i wlan0 | grep -i success produced much output, ending with Sep 22 09:35:14 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727022914.3489] device (wlan0): Activation: (wifi) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network "d-link.zefox.net" Sep 22 09:35:14 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727022914.5427] device (wlan0): Activation: successful, device activated. Sep 23 09:12:57 raspberrypi NetworkManager[819]: [1727107977.4602] device (wlan0): Activation: (wifi) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network "d-link.zefox.net" Sep 23 09:12:57 raspberrypi NetworkManager[819]: [1727107977.6547] device (wlan0): Activation: successful, device activated. The timestamp gap from Sep 22 to Sep 23 matches the pause before I made the Device wlan0 change. This isn't very clever use of journalctl, admittedly, and I don't really understand what it's showing me now. Running journalctl | grep -i wlan0 | grep -i supplicant-failed produces just three lines: Sep 21 07:36:41 raspberrypi NetworkManager[826]: [1726929401.0115] device (p2p-dev-wlan0): state change: disconnected -> unavailable (reason 'supplicant-failed', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Sep 21 07:38:51 raspberrypi NetworkManager[826]: [1726929531.4462] device (p2p-dev-wlan0): state change: disconnected -> unavailable (reason 'supplicant-failed', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Sep 22 08:05:07 raspberrypi NetworkManager[821]: [1727017507.7245] device (p2p-dev-wlan0): state change: disconnected -> unavailable (reason 'supplicant-failed', sys-iface-state: 'managed') If any of this makes sense please clue me in. Meanwhile wifi seems to work, so I can get back to wrestling with your TLS exercises.
