Description: Lost wifi-connection after upgrade to
networkmanager 1.0.12-1.
Additional info: * package version : networkmanager 1.0.12-1 * config and/or log files etc. there is a lot of information regarding this bug in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210868 including my own issue description as pasted below. -Software: KDE-Plasma-Version 5.6.1 KDE-Frameworks-Version 5.20.0 Qt-Version 5.6.0 Kernel-Version 4.4.5-1-ARCH 64-bit -Hardware: i5-5200U CPU 8 GiB Memory WiFi Adapter: 1. PCI WiFi - 03:00.0 Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac - Driver ath10k_pci 2. USB WiFi - Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0b05:17ab ASUSTek Computer, Inc USB-N13 802.11n Network Adapter (rev. B1) [Realtek RTL8192CU] - Driver 8192cu The PCI-WiFi uses the regular kernel ath10k_pci and has obviously no problems with the new 1.0.12-1 version of networkmanager, but the usb one has. The question of the driver for the USB-Adapter is sligtly more complex. Since the original kernel driver is broken I use the 8192cu provided by the AUR Package 8192cu-dkms. The driver is loaded: # lsmod | grep 8192 8192cu 532480 0 mei 81920 1 mei_me usbcore 196608 9 btusb,uvcvideo,rtsx_usb,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,8192cu,xhci_hcd,xhci_pci but there is a strange (at least for me) message from # dmesg -w | grep 8192 usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu rtl8192cu 2-2:1.0 enp0s20u2: renamed from wlan0 It is strange because rtl8192cu is the original broken kernel driver I blacklisted i /etc/modprobe.d. There are no any further messages regarding neither a *8192* driver nor the enp0s20u2 interface. Networkmanager starts the PCI-WiFi without any issues but the USB-one can only be started via iw link and/or wifi-menu. After I started it with wifi-menue and restarted networkmanager the nm-applet shows the enp0s20u2 interface but it is impossible to connect to it. A dialog generated by KDED5 /KDEINIT5] pops up and requires a passwort to access the wifi-network. You can enter whatever you want. Nothing is accepted and the messages "no password has been entered" and "interface enp0s20u2 will be deactivated" appear. The only workaround I found was to downgrade networkmanager to the previous version. Steps to reproduce: |

chrys, is yours being named the same way? What driver are you using?
Downgrading to 10.0.10-2 fixed it.
lsusb -v
lsmod
bevore and after the update.
after a downgrade it will work again.

this seems to be fixed upstream.

In the upstream ticket also is a workarround:
sudo iwconfig <your wlan device> mode managed
before starting NetworkManager.
seems that the wifi card is set to auto after upgrade. this is wrong.
please check if that solves your problem.
for me i just will wait to the next NM stable -> IgnorePKG.
I hope this helps
thanks.
iwconfig <wlan device> mode managed did not work for me. ifconfig <wlan device> down or up i still get Operation not permitted.
I had to compile networkmanager from source and apply this patch:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=70c0defe753bc98ac75725cc32a84b36f32258e4
And networkmanager-1.0.12 now works in both my system.
Compile it or wait for the fix.
1.0.10 "kind of" works better. Actually it looks that it breaks down fatally and thus gets automatically restarted unlike 1.2.2.
I have USB wifi adapter.

And just FYI: installed connman and seems to work just fine.
