1) Have Intel WIFI, either Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265 or Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 2) Have Linux 5.6 3) Try to connect to WIFI You can't because it's broken due to commit ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da One solution is to revert ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da 5.6-rc7 works perfectly since ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da was commited after rc7. I have a laptop and a notebook with Intel WIFI. Both fail with 5.6, both work using 5.6-git with ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da reverted. It is very unfortunate that I ended up wasting hours re-compiling the kernel bisecting this.
Same problem here. I have a Lenovo L570 laptop. Wifi is an Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78). Reverting the mentioned commit solved the problem. Please let me know if I could help by testing etc. CHL
There is a comment on the LKMO who commited https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da where he explains that "sorry, my bad" is why WIFI is broken in kernel 5.6. He points out that this patch resolves the issue: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net.git/commit/?id=be8c827f50a0bcd56361b31ada11dc0a3c2fd240 I have not tested that myself but I am guessing that the wifi broken in 5.6 and 5.6.1 issue can be resolved by applying be8c827f50a0bcd56361b31ada11dc0a3c2fd240 I'm running 5.6 with ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da reverted on two machines so I can say with certainty that WIFI works just fine with that solution. Note that 5.6.1 does not have any fix.
Hello, same here. Device: 02:00.0 Class: Network controller Vendor: Intel Corporation Device: Wireless-AC 9260 SVendor: Intel Corporation SDevice: Wireless-AC 9260 Rev: 29 Driver: iwlwifi Module: iwlwifi As described above, reverting `ce2e1ca703071723ca2dd94d492a5ab6d15050da` solves the problem.

From https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.6.2 commit 7908d2658f92b5164d715959d51ebb88f4ad891b Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Sun Mar 29 22:50:06 2020 +0200 mac80211: fix authentication with iwlwifi/mvm commit be8c827f50a0bcd56361b31ada11dc0a3c2fd240 upstream. The original patch didn't copy the ieee80211_is_data() condition because on most drivers the management frames don't go through this path. However, they do on iwlwifi/mvm, so we do need to keep Changing the status of this bug to RESOLVED - PATCH_ALREADY_AVAILABLE as the release of 5.6.2 has the above cited patch.
