[Solved] Wifi not working on some acces point

Hello,

I have a Thinkpad X280 and I cannot connect on some acces point.
It seems it works with 5Ghz wifi but not with 2.4 Ghz wifi.
I have up to date Kernel
Here the log of NetworkManager when it fails

Re: [Solved] Wifi not working on some acces point

I finally solved my problem by adding these lines to /etc/NeworkManager/NetworkManger.conf

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
