I recently installed the latest nightly of 20.04 on my mid-2015 MacBook Pro 15" (11,5 model). The WLAN card is the BCM43602, which has the id 14E4:0152. I've been trying many different things to get it to connect to a WPA2 wifi network using the gui (NetworkManager), but so far have not had any success. I can see the networks listed, but when I try to connect and enter my PSK, it eventually errors out and say I need to re-enter the PSK.
The strange thing though is that I can connect using wpa_supplicant. I can also connect using NetworkManager to open networks, just not ones using WPA-PSK (and not sure about WEP or WPA-Enterprise). I've used wpa_supplicant on the cli to connect manually to my network at home, and I configured netplan to use networkd as the renderer to connect to the network automatically. These both work just fine.
Anything obvious I should be looking at? The NetworkManager logs are unhelpful, as all it says is associating -> disconnected, repeatedly. I can post them if needed. dmesg mentions issues with loading firmware and that channels might be limited, however that seems like a false alert given that I can connect without issue using wpa_supplicant.
Thank you!
