I am also seeing this problem. My motherboard has an onboard Intel AX201 wireless module. 'lshw -class network' reports.
I am running ubuntu 24.04-1. *-network description: Ethernet interface product: Comet Lake PCH CNVi WiFi vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 14.3 bus info: pci@0000:00:14.3 logical name: wlo1 version: 00 serial: 64:6e:e0:6a:ec:30 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=6.8.0-44-generic firmware=77.ad46c98b.0 QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.u ip=10.161.0.1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes resources: iomemory:400-3ff irq:16 memory:4010514000-4010517fff Network manager journal shows this.

Then timeout. NO other information appears in the journals. Other non intel devices work fine.This looks like as strange interaction between NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant when an intel iwlwifi is being used. I have looked through network manager and wpa_supplicant source code for where ap_scan=2 is set but have not found it. Has anyone tracked this down further? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886169 Title: "nl80211 driver interface is not designed to be used with ap_scan=2" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/1886169/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
