#258717 — NetworkManager, Iphone, Bullseye, and Bookworm

SubjectNetworkManager, Iphone, Bullseye, and Bookworm
Message-ID<GA6db-bPuo-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 8 to a 14. All of my various WiFi
capable computers worked great with the iPhone 8's Personal Hotspot.
However, the new iPhone does not appear to like Bullseye. Two computers
show the same symptoms: the iPhone does not seem to like the password
previously stored and known to work.

On one, I even moved the old connection file aside and tried creating a
new connection file. I entered the password, and had repeated requests
to provide the password.

However, I have Bookworm on an ancient IBM R51. That got on the
Personal Hotspot immediately with no fuss. I also ran a recent live CD
of Bookworm on one of the two failing Bullseye machines, and that worked
immediately.

On one of the Bullseye machines, I upgraded NetworkManager from
backports. No go. So, is there something in that mess of dependencies
that NetworkManager rides herd on that I should upgrade, preferably from
Bullseye backports? Other thoughts? (Aside from install Bookworm
immediately.)

Probably, an updated "wpasupplicant" package is what you need.
The version in "bullseye-backports" is slightly older, so you might need 
to build a backport from sources in "bookworm".

Thanks. Upgrading wpasupplicant from backports did not make a
difference. I'll look at compiling from source later on.

Hello,

Perhaps just a small setup modification on the Iphone:

Thanks.

I had already found the "Maximize Compatibility" toggle, and used it.
Most of my devices use only 2.5GHz, so I already had it on.

Apparently the iPhone doesn't (or can't) provide both 2.5GHz and 5GHz
at the same time. That strikes me as odd.

Anyway, switching between the two bands did not help.
