Comment # 19
on bug 902771
from kevin vandeventer
Wicked has started working for me with my wireless card but so far I have been
unable to figure out exactly how it started working. I'm using
Plasma5/Frameworks5 with 13.2 and on 1-13-15 there were some updates for plasma
to version 5.1.95. Only some packages were updated and when I rebooted,
plasmashell crashed and on subsequent logouts/reboots it continued to crash.
These crashes also caused NetworkManager to stop working, or at least there was
not network connection.
I switched to IceWM to work around the plasma crashes and I switched to wicked
via command line and connected an ethernet cable to get a network connection.
Twenty four hours later, there were updates for more plasma packages in 5.1.95
series and this fixed the crashes in plasma. I clicked on the network icon in
the panel and it said I was connected with enp9s0 and wlp5s5 was available. I
switched to wlp5s5 and it has been working ever since. There was also an update
to NetworkManager during this time, but I don't know if that helped or not.
A recent email about bug #895447 said an update to sysconfig may help with this
wicked problem, but mine starting working long before that. It's been working
for about nine days. Now when I execute the status command, everything is 'up'
and the only 'setup-in-progress' is because the ethernet isn't plugged in.
