Description Bjarne Thomsen 2015-04-28 16:59:07 CEST 
Description of problem:
Testing of a new wi-fi configuration hangs forever

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Successful fresh EFI install of Mageia-5-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso
on a GIGABYTE BRIX Pro Ultra Compact PC Kit.
The ethernet connection works fine, but there is
something wrong with the MCC configuration of
rtl8821ae       : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

How reproducible:
Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Wi-Fi for automatic dhcp of hostname and DNS.
2. The Wi-Fi applet appears, IP, Gateway, and DNS are correct.
3. But testing the connection hangs forever.
Afterwards the Wi-Fi applet appears when the ethernet cable is unplogged.
It shows the correct IP-number, Gateway and DNS addresses.
BUT nslookup of an external domain just hangs.
When I plugin the ethernet cable everything works again.
Mga5 works on all my other boxes with Wi-Fi.
Could it be the driver?

Does it work better if you run drakfirewall as root and select "All" so that there's no filtering at all?

No. It is the same result. But I tried to ping my access point,
an Asus EA-N66 Dual-band 450 Mbps.
I works fine from the ethernet side when the cable i plugged in,
but it does not work when the ethernet cable is unplugged.

Can you attach dmesg, lspcidrake -v and journalctl -b from when you try to use the wireless

Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-01 16:13:37 CEST 
Please also attach your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* (there's one relevant for your ethernet & one for your wifi -- they should be the two newest files)
