Cannot join mschapv2 WIFI wpasupplicant

Support
1

Hi guys,

don’t know when this happened but since kernel 4.18.0-parrot06 (could be also earlier) I am not able to connect to any Wireless which uses radius (NPS server from M$) and peap in combination with MSCHAPv2
anymore.

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version, edition, and architecture)

security
4.18.0-parrot10-amd64

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)

fresh installed - USB drive - gtk installer

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
NOPE

If there are any similar issues or solutions, link to them below:

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:
no, I am just getting the prompt for authentication again

were there any changes for wpa-supplicant?
with other linux distros like kali, ubuntu, etc… I am able to join these networks without problem
Android is also working - credentials are the same and also correct and working

EDIT:
found another thread with exact same issue but it seems not being resolved:

I havent experienced this so cant give a direct fix. But to give a bit of help, the error of interest:

Nov 19 11:03:47 parrot kernel: [41400.275336] wlan0: deauthenticating from 2c:33:11:6d:88:1e by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

First result after a google for me was: dhcp - "aborting authentication by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)" when trying to connect to wifi - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange. Have a look see if anything looks useful.

thanks, will give it try

as I have seen in archlinux forums that it is related to the kernel …
downgrade should work but this not really an option for me …

holy shit!

takes really long to get that working!
the problem seems to be wpasupplicant

apt list --installed wpasupplicant
wpasupplicant/now 2:2.4-1+deb9u2 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 2:2.6-18]

as you can see I have manually install wpasupplicant 2:2.4-1 from
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=wpasupplicant

after a reboot I was able to connect immediatly the MSCHAPv2 network.

Nov 19 15:40:38 p4rr0t NetworkManager[833]: <info>  [1542638438.9742] device (wlan0): Activation: (wifi) Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network "SUPERNETWORK"

also put the 2:2.6-18 on hold

apt-mark hold wpasupplicant

I cannot tell what are the diferences in wpasupplicant but maybe one of the devs could have a look into it?
