I get home from a fun ride on Amtrak - Chicago to Detroit, 2 hours
delayed to a plowed in car (importance here is I was on the Amtrak
WiFi). Came out of suspend mode and connected to my WiFi with no problem.
Then no WiFi. It will not connect. I tried restarting NetworkManager,
the interface. Both restarted the authentication which failed. I
pulled out the trusty ethernet cable to get connected. I am current on
patches. Here is what journalctl shows me for one of the failed
connections:

Any idea where to troubleshoot this one?
It won't connect to my smartphone MiFi either. Tried that. And at
first my SSID disappeared from the list of found SSIDs. I checked from
my phone which had no problem connecting to my local WiFi, so it is the
F21 system. After restarting NetworkManager, my SSID again appeared in
the list.
