First there is a driver or AP failure: kernel: [ 7968.904287] wlp2s0: deauthenticated from 72:a9:e4:4f:67:c0 (Reason: 15=4WAY_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT) and the supplicant disables the AP for 10 seconds. Then the supplicant retries and is able to authenticate and associate to the AP, but cannot complete the 4-way handshake: kernel: [ 7981.969561] wlp2s0: associated wpa_supplicant[1742]: wlp2s0: Associated with 72:a9:e4:4f:67:c0 NetworkManager[1048]: <info> [1492088527.3722] device (wlp2s0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associated NetworkManager[1048]: <warn> [1492088532.3307] device (wlp2s0): Activation: (wifi) association took too long After this second auth/assoc, 5 seconds go by without any 4-way handshake progress, and NM times the connection attempt out. I don't think this is a NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant problem, really. It seems much more like a driver or AP issue. One really stupid question; have you power-cycled your AP? I have seen quite a few consumer-level APs get into states like this, which a reboot fixes temporarily.
