[Bug 1906770] Re: Kernel 5.4.0-56 Wi-Fi does not connect

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves
the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the
results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change
the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
Kernel 5.4.0-56 Wi-Fi does not connect

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Focal:
Fix Committed

Bug description:
After updating to 5.4.0-56 (generic) on Mint 19.3, Wi-Fi cannot
complete connection to network with Netgear A6210 USB adapter
(Mediatek MT7612U chipset). Network manager can see available
networks, but attempting to connect to a network stalls on
"connecting" and does not complete connection. Reverting to 5.4.0-54
solves problem. I did not see this problem after updating to 5.4.0-56
on a 10-year-old Toshiba Satellite laptop (also Mint 19.3), so it
appears related to the Netgear/Mediatek hardware.
