[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#848982: Bug#848982: wpasupplicant fails to connect to WPA Enterprise network with 2.6-2

[Kan-Ru Chen]

I'm also using network manager and have a Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 (Dell
XPS 9360) and cannot connect to PEAP network recently.

I've tried downgrading wpasupplicant, network-manager and even linux
kernel but none of them fixes the problem.

>From log and code it looks like network-manager already send all
uppercase auth=MSCHAPV2 to wpasupplicant.

My unsuccessful logs look like:

Boot with a Ubuntu 16.04 live cd with proper firmware can connect to the
network successfully. I only has this live cd handy but I can test with
Debian later.
