When the connection to wifi fails, nm judges whether recall
ask-password-dialog according to the status change of wpa; for sae, if it
is in external authentication mode, when the authentication fails, the
state is from ASSOCIATING to DISCONNECTED; if it is not external
authentication, when the authentication fails, the state is AUTHENTICATING
To DISCONNECTED. Therefore, nm needs to ask for a password when the state
of wpa changes from AUTHENTICATING or ASSOCIATING to DISCONNECTED when sae.
This range is too large, and there may be misjudgments. Therefore, consider
changing the status to AUTHENTICATING for the successful triggering of
external authentication.
