How to get detailed diagnostics of WiFi connection problems from the terminal?

I've been trying for days to connect a live [Tails](https://tails.net/) system to a mobile WiFi hotspot on an Android 9.0 device without success. What I have done so far: 1. Set up a mobile WiFi hotspot in Android protected by a WPA2 password and MAC filtering 2. Boot Tails with the MAC address anonymization feature disabled 3. Read out the hostname and static MAC address of the Tails system by doing cat /etc/hostname and ip link, respectively 4. Using the hostname and MAC address, add the Tails system to the hotspot's white list of allowed devices 5. Try to connect to the hotspot using its SSID and WPA2 password Step 5 keeps failing with the error message > Connection failed > > Activation of network connection failed I quadruple-checked every single setting, checked and changed the WPA2 password, tried disabling MAC filtering, switched between 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, switched between visible and hidden SSIDs etc., all without success. There are zero issues connecting other Linux systems to the exact same hotspot using exactly the same procedure, and I also have been connected to other public WiFi networks using this exact Tails system before. FWIW, the network controller according to lspci -v | grep "Network controller" is Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34) What am I missing here? Is there a way to get some real-time, verbose terminal output with detailed error messages etc. from the WiFi adapter while it is trying to connect?
