Leaving this bug new/open as this problem should not have occurred. Network Manager was installed and it was only updated during the April 9 - May 29 session.
Rebooted & WiFi down again. Need: systemctl stop NetworkManager.service service network start Ok.. I'm still somewhat old-school... ;]
Assigning to NetworkManager, which unfortunately has no maintainer. So assigning to all packagers collectively.

While working on bug 10162 (installed VBox), I needed to logout/login to become member of group vboxusers. This simple action killed my WiFi again. "Fixed" by invoking my fixwifi script: /usr/local/bin/fixwifi: systemctl stop NetworkManager.service service network start
Summary: wireless will not connect after reboot (for new glibc) => wireless will not connect after reboot(for new glibc) -- also fails after logout/login
Installed mga5 on brand new Dell Inspiron 3558. WiFi works fine on Win10; but is completely dead on mga5. # rfkill list all 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes However, there is no real switch on this system; only BIOS settings which ARE enabled as witnessed by Win10 working. # dmesg |grep -i wifi [ 30.827767] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 30.827829] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 30.828436] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Unsupported splx structure [ 31.285214] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: loaded firmware version 25.30.13.0 op_mode iwlmvm [ 31.376675] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3160, REV=0x164 [ 31.376746] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled [ 31.376969] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to disable radio. <=====<<< [ 31.376993] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: L1 Enabled - LTR Enabled [ 32.763016] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0 wlp6s0: renamed from wlan0 ARGH!!!!!!! Somehow, EITHER Win10 knows how to get around this, and/or Linux is toggling the disable radio bit (see above)... Getting WiFi working was as ridiculously simple as Fn+PrtScr on this model which is the BIOS-controlled Radio switch (there are NO visual indicators (LEDs) on this system). Now: # rfkill list all 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 1: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no
This just happened again after logout/login. This time, my fixwifi script didn't help: systemctl stop NetworkManager.service service network start After much analysis of /var/log/messages, found this: Nov 1 09:43:21 prf network[26560]: Sorry, there is already an instance of ifplugd for wlp3s0 running. $ ps aux | grep ifplug root 6226 0.0 0.0 6348 1196 ?
