If it is a regression due to recent updates then trying to isolate which package caused the regression may be the best way to start. You can check /var/log/apt/history.log* to try and determine what packages were upgraded around the time you started experiencing issues. The most likely candidates are probably linux, wpasupplicant, or network-manager.
I'm going to change the affected task to linux for now, then if you run 'apport-collect 1837440' in a terminal your system will attach logs which may be relevant to this bug report. Try to do it after you've been experiencing the connection issues, without rebooting. I know that this can be tricky when the problem is with networking -- perhaps you can connect to a different network or use a wired connection. ** Package changed: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837440 Title: linux firmware 1.178.3 seems to break WPA enterprise Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Seen on intel Wireless-N 2230 BGN (rev c4). After the update to said linux firmware version I had issues in connecting to the WPA enterprise wifi networks EDUROAM and ALMAWIFI. EDUROAM is the European universities Wi-Fi network. Ability to connect to non enterprise network is unaffected. Downgrading to 1.178 seems to restore proper functionality. In the next days I'll try further checks to see if the firmware is really the sole trigger for the issue. In the meantime, I am tentatively opening the bug in case others have my same issue.
