something called Modem Manager. I've no idea what that is or why it would be active.
Modem Manager is apparently a QT and/or Plasma bloat component: # zypper se -s --requires ModemManager | ModemManager | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | x86_64 | OSS | ModemManager-devel | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | x86_64 | OSS | ModemManager-lang | package | 1.4.10-3.2 | noarch | OSS | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.15.0-1.1 | x86_64 | OSS | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.16.0-3.1 | x86_64 | Update | libKF5ModemManagerQt-devel | package | 5.19.0-6.3 | x86_64 | Update | libModemManagerQt-devel | package | 1.0.1-6.3 | x86_64 | OSS | libNetworkManagerQt-devel | package | 0.9.8.3-2.2 | x86_64 | OSS | libNetworkManagerQt1 | package | 0.9.8.3-2.2 | x86_64 | OSS | modem-manager-gui | package | 0.0.17.1-4.10 | x86_64 | OSS | package-lists-openSUSE-images | package | 42.1-26.1 | x86_64 | OSS | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.4.2-1.2 | x86_64 | OSS | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.4.3-3.2 | x86_64 | Update | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.5.4-6.3 | x86_64 | Update | plasma-nm5 | package | 5.5.5-9.1 | x86_64 | Update Trying to get rid of MM tries to get rid of the foundation of KDE: # zypper se -s --requires plasma-nm5 ... | plasma5-session | package | 5.4.2-1.1 | noarch | OSS | plasma5-session | package | 5.4.3-3.1 | noarch | Update | plasma5-session | package | 5.5.4-6.1 | noarch | Update | plasma5-session | package | 5.5.5-9.1 | noarch | Update Why it would be active on an installation with active ethernet I can't say, but maybe that's an element of your delay. Maybe Wicked goes looking for a modem connection if DHCP doesn't bring LAN connection up fast enough, and the two get tangled. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
