Created attachment 325703 [details] lsmod before update Hi, after an update to the version 1.0.12 the WiFi connection does not work anymore. I use the 8191SU module for WiFi I attached the output of lsusb -v lsmod bevore and after the update. I use the most current archlinux with gnome 3.20 but I also notice that problem before my "gnome update" in 3.18.x

Hi Chris, How does it not work? What used to work before, and in which way is it not working anymore? lsmod/lsusb reports settings from the driver/kernel. At this point that is not helpful. Please attach the logfile of NetworkManager, preferably after enabling debug-logging and reproducing the failure. See [logging] in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/plain/contrib/fedora/rpm/NetworkManager.conf how to enable debug-logging. Thank you. But actually, this could be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325631
Hi Chris, I think it could be fixed with this: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=70c0defe753bc98ac75725cc32a84b36f32258e4 which I have just merged. You can pick the current nm-stable tree to check and compile. Or maybe a trick could work in the meanwhile... check from shell with: iwconfig <your wlan device> If the output shows: "Mode:Auto", then you can try with a : sudo iwconfig <your wlan device> mode managed before starting NM (or just restarting nm after issuing that). Please, let me know Francesco

Your workarround worked as explained to me. So I think this is a duplicate of the problem that you already fixed. thanks for your nice work! for me its ok to wait for the next update. The Arch guys are is really fast in doing updates. Until the next stable version i will exclude the NM from updates. cheers chrys *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 763388 ***
I can confirm its working with this: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=70c0defe753bc98ac75725cc32a84b36f32258e4 The workaround iwconfig <wlan device> mode managed, did not work. I compiled it from source and its now working again thanks.
Chris, Tommy, nice news, thanks for checking!
