Comment # 11 on bug 916042 from Fabrice LEMAISTRE

hello ;)

we spoke on irc and it helped , thank you :)

fyi :

ok, there was a bug with wicked not being able to manage wpa 1 ; some commits
have been done and the rpms are available from the network repo (wicked
master).
i added wicked, libwicked and wicked-service from there.

i also restored the wpa_supplicant.conf file to default (2 lines is ok, later
wicked fills it )

Next version of wicked will include the last improvements.

I changed the device config file to 'manual' (startmode option).

So now it works and i can switch ON wifi if ethernet is KO:

Code:

cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlp4s0
....
STARTMODE='manual'
