I am attempting to connect my Ubuntu 22.04 laptop to my router using Wi-Fi. When the Wi-Fi network is not saved on my laptop, I can successfully connect to it. However, after saving the network, whenever I reboot the system, it continuously tries to connect to the saved Wi-Fi network but fails. To connect again, I have to manually make the system forget the network and enter the password each time. I'm unsure about the cause of this issue and how to resolve it.
Here is the log of the network manager when it fails to connect to my wifi apple.media
