Bug Description

This is the error I get if I try to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network on Ubuntu 20.10 with wpa_supplicant:

Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

If I use iwd instead, everything works fine.

I also can connect to other networks with wpa_supplicant.

I had the same issue with the Live USB.

Thank you for your bug report, do you have details on what sort of configuration and security options is eduroam using?

Could you edit /lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service to add a '-d' to the ExecStart cmd, restart, try to connect and share the 'journalctl -b 0' log from the system?
