Description Götz Waschk 2015-09-25 12:17:05 CEST
After upgrading to Mageia 5 I cannot connect to wireless anymore. Networkmanager is asking for the key, tries to connect and then is asking again.

I have the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 controller.

Comment 4 Olivier FAURAX 2015-09-25 16:26:15 CEST
Does it work to connect to an open AP?

> Does it work to connect to an open AP?
I haven't tried that.
Comment 6 Götz Waschk 2015-09-25 17:35:25 CEST
I have updated everything currently in updates/testing (kernel, firmware,â¦) and now it is connecting to the WLAN for a short time and then it is disconnecting again.
Comment 7 Götz Waschk 2015-09-25 17:45:26 CEST
I have tested an Ubuntu 14.04.3 live version, WLAN connection is working fine. As I mentioned before, it was working fine in Mageia 4 as well.
Comment 8 Götz Waschk 2015-09-29 21:24:25 CEST
Do you need more information to assign this bug?

Comment 9 Sander Lepik 2015-09-29 21:34:08 CEST
Just asking to be sure.. services network and network-up are disabled and stopped? And you are using only 'plugins=keyfile' in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf ? I've seen ifcfg plugin causing trouble.

Comment 10 Götz Waschk 2015-09-29 21:47:01 CEST
I have disabled the services network and network-up using systemctl. Then I have removed  ifcfg-rh from NetworkManager.conf. Now I can connect to WLAN. These settings must have been left over from Mageia 4 as I haven't touched any of them before.

You probably also want to go into drakx-net and explicitly delete the wireless interface in case harddrake2 decides to rear its head and start interfering.

Comment 12 Christian Müller 2015-10-01 20:47:51 CEST
I experienced same on three Laptop that I upgraded in the last days from 4 to 5: No Wifi-connection afterwards. I disabled NetworkManager-Service, and immediately Wifi worked again.

Comment 13 Marja Van Waes 2017-03-11 20:56:04 CET
It's over 17 months ago since this issue was last reported and Mageia 4 was EOL'ed even longer ago. It is very unlikely that anyone will still hit this problem.

I've seen no reports about a similar issue for Mageia 5 to Cauldron or e.g. 6sta2 upgrades

Closing as OLD
