I finally got my replacement laptop.

This is a Lenovo T420, with coreboot BIOS.

It came from my supplier with Qubes 4.0 installed.

It all works well on wired internet or unsecured wifi, but my main router is WPA secured and it won't get a DHCP response. The main router is the one running dhcp, so it is the same dhcp server I get when connected to my unsecured extension. (I live miles from anyone and the unsecured router is inside a metal skinned RV I use for office, so don't gripe at me about having it wide open. It won't work outside the RV).

Anyway, I bring the machine into the house and try and connect to the secured wifi router and it never gets an address.

What am I missing?

Stuart Perkins:
Often this is due to a mismatch of WPA passwords, but doublecheck
journatlctl in sys-net and see if it logged anything related.
