Loss of ability to connect to Wireless after Software update and reboot

After a recent software update 3 days ago, the connection routine to the wireless router is failing during the authentication of the WPA2 password. The router is fine, other systems can still connect using the WPA2 key. However the wpa supplicant log shows the following:

The problem appears to be WPA failing to set GTK to the driver and RSN failing to configure GTK. I checked inside the wpa_supplicant source code, there is only 1 place that this message occurs, but since I didn’t write that code, I am not sure why the failure has occurred.

Any ideas where to go next? The system connects just fine to any unsecured wireless router, but I would like to regain use under WPA2 encryption.

P.S. MAC code and SSID changed above, because someone used the real one to locate me to within 1 ft location on the earth’s surface…

Does previous kernel version (before update) work?

1560974337.504917: rfkill: WLAN soft blocked

Maybe as root:

rfkill unblock all

I suspect it probably does, but I leap-frogged the problem by upgrading to Leap 15.1 instead, and things started working again.

That command has to be run to enable the Wifi to listen for RF connections, as you suggested. I cured my problem by upgrading to Leap 15.1 (but had to update 5,269 packages, which broke the auto update script, since it can only handle 5200 updates at once)

Thanks for the comment.
