fwiw, I did two fresh 13.2 installs which cannot achieve connection via NetworkManager (NetFailManager), and I have three systems on Tw which cause *no* problems but non-the-less cannot connect via NetworkManager.
And For the record, I have no problem using NetworkManager either. It connects to my Router, my phone, the wifi at the Cafe just fine.
It would be interesting to know just WHY networkmanager decides to fail for you, and why you wouldn't pursue a fix for that.
I am in another thread here.
The problem I am having with it, and also the network manager when I used that, was that at the university, they say that it doesn't stay connected to the wifi long enought to get an assignment from the DHCP That is what they say. I don't know of any means to adjust the amount of time they take to get an assignment, and I'm not totally convineced that LIU knows what they are doing. I think there is something else going on and they don't have the tools to know what that problem is, It does work better with MACs and MS OSs
Its always worked for me even back in 12.3 days.
I have been unable to get it to work on *any* box since it's introduction, and after *many* attempts. But today is the first time I felt the need to pursue it further as ifup worked fine for wired connections and previous I only had one laptop and didn't travel much. Today I see the need to be able to access multiple wireless locations.
And, kdeconnect-kde works fine.
