I have set the password where you have shown.
I have nothing where it says BSSID. Do I need something there ?
No you should be able to click on the WiFi network icon and see your connection SSID name and try to connect to it. Enable WiFi has to be checked.
Mine are the optus options. But they still won’t connect.
What does it do when you try to connect?
Are you able to give me the output of
inxi -Na
Network:

sudo rmmod 8821cu
sudo modprobe 8821cu
Tried it. Still same
It’s 3:38 AM here in Australia, so I will work on this tomorrow.
Thanks for your time and effort.
Try disabling MAC address Randomization this way by editing the file or creating it with nano.
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
add the following
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
ctrl + o then enter to save the file
ctrl + x to exit nano
Edit: See if that lets it connect and accept the password.
Had to get up to change the baby. Was thinking in bed, what if firewalld was a problem. SO I disabled firewalld, and it connected. You know I thought of this 4 hours ago, but didn’t get around to it. Firewalld is enabled now. Still connected!
Truly thanks 4 your time rick and jonathon!

First time I’ve heard of a firewall preventing connection to a network… 
Edit: Unless the connection attempt was happening correctly, but the firewall was blocking DHCP and that was preventing connection from completing. This isn’t what the logs suggest, however.
That wouldn’t have occurred to me either.
