WiFi Stuck at "Configuring Interface" - Fresh Bazzite Install

questionbug
Hi everyone! I'm having persistent WiFi issues on my fresh Bazzite OS installation and could really use some help. I am new to linux

The Problem:
- WiFi interface
wlp9s0
wlp9s0
gets stuck at "Configuring interface" and won't complete connection
- Tested on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks
- Connection attempts fail with:
Error: 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt: property is missing
Error: 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt: property is missing


Current Status:
- Power management is confirmed OFF (
iw wlp9s0 get power_save
iw wlp9s0 get power_save
returns "off")
- NetworkManager is running
- Can see networks in network manager
- Connection attempts hang at "Configuring interface" indefinitely

System Specs:
- OS: Fresh Bazzite installation
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Motherboard: MSI X870E Tomahawk WiFi
- RAM: 32GB G.SKILL DDR5-6000
- Storage: Kingston KC3000 (primary), Samsung 980 (secondary)
- WiFi Interface: wlp9s0

Has anyone experienced this on Bazzite? Is there something specific I need to configure for the MSI X870E Tomahawk's WiFi adapter? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
