Invalid cipher group when trying to connect to WPA secured network
We have a WPA secured network at work, and since the last system upgrade I did I can't connect to it anymore.
I have already found a suspicious message when using the `dmesg` command, but I don't really know what to do about it (nor I am totally sure if that is really the cause):

[ 122.016495] WLC_SCAN error (-22)The upgrade I did included the NetworkManager and it seemed to have rebuilt the broadcom network driver (I am using a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2014 or something like that). The lspci command shows "02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)" as the network controller.
Just to be sure, I also include the pacman.log from the update which caused the problems:

Re: Invalid cipher group when trying to connect to WPA secured network
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1582407#c1 ?
Can you still connect w/ eg. wifi-menu (after stopping NM)?

Re: Invalid cipher group when trying to connect to WPA secured network
Just tried, when stopping NetworkManager using "systemctl stop NetworkManager.service" and using wifi-menu afterwards, it tells me that the connection failed. dmesg shows a different message then though:

In light of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1858916 please stop NM and reboot. Then try wifi-menu, see whether there's still a problem.

I'm seeing similar problems with a recent network-manager upgrade, both on an early 2010s MBP with the wl driver, as well as on a raspberry pi.

I tried that, that works! But it's not really a solution... I guess that means that the issue is located in the NetworkManager... Does anybody know if there is already a report, or somebody is working on fixing that?

Re: Invalid cipher group when trying to connect to WPA secured network
Apologies for the necrobump, but I was able to resolve this on a MBP 2013 using the built in wifi (broadcom-wl, bcm4360) by disabling "802.11w Management Frame Protection" in OpenWRT. I previously had it set to optional and was getting the same "@wl_set_key_mgmt" errors.
EDIT: It appears the issue can NOT be fixed by using wpa_supplicant, or ieee80211w=2 if the AP has 802.11w set to optional or required.
