Connecting to WIFI: Guru Meditation Error

[pyoneer]

Hi,

i am currently trying to connect to a WPA2-Enterprise (eduroam) network as described here on a Lopy4 with Pysense Expansion board.
This is my main.py file (no other files are used in this project):

from network import WLAN
from machine import SD
import os
import time

sd = SD()
os.mount(sd, '/sd')

wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA)
nets = wlan.scan()
for net in nets:
    print(net.ssid)
    print(net.channel)
    if net.ssid == "eduroam" and wlan.channel() == net.channel:
        print('Wifi found. connecting.')
        wlan.connect(ssid='eduroam', auth=(WLAN.WPA2_ENT, '[username]', '[pw]'),
                     identity='[identy]', ca_certs='/sd/cert/ca.pem')
        break

The device boots up and runs the script without error. However wlan.isconnected() will always return False.

Then, after a couple of seconds the device crashes with the error message:

>>> Guru Meditation Error: Core  0 panic'ed (LoadProhibited)
. Exception was unhandled.
Register dump:

After a long sequence of printed core dumping the system will restart.

The device is apparently setting up the connection in the background and will at some point fail. I investigated the Guru Meditation error (details here) and found that:

LoadProhibited, StoreProhibited:

This CPU exception happens when application attempts to read from or write to an invalid memory location. The address which was written/read is found in EXCVADDR register in the register dump. If this address is zero, it usually means that application attempted to dereference a NULL pointer. If this address is close to zero, it usually means that application attempted to access member of a structure, but the pointer to the structure was NULL. If this address is something else (garbage value, not in 0x3fxxxxxx - 0x6xxxxxxx range), it likely means that the pointer used to access the data was either not initialized or was corrupted.

So apparently the application attempted to access member of a structure, but the pointer to the structure was NULL. That doesn't really help me, however.

Is anybody facing the same problem or has some advice?

Notes on the code:

I am checking wlan.channel()==net.channel() as eduroam is available at least twice on different channels. The Lopy4 is set on channel 6 and I also find on instance of eduroam on this channel. I don't know if that is important as my problem persists and I can't connect to WIFI either way.

The ca.pem file that I have stored on SD is the same that I am using on my Ubuntu Laptop to (successfully) connect to eduroam.
