F20 - switching between wireless and wired. If I disable the wireless (with wired not connected), airplane mode comes on. If I switch from wireless -> wired * wireless is disabled * airplane mode comes on * networks settings option is removed from menu If you want me to test sequences ... fire away.

video of network icon
I use wireless at home, wired at the office.
I always cold boot, never resume.
At home, connects fine.
At work, the airplane mode is on, and, on occasion the "network" icon is blinking.
At work I have this ritual:
* open settings
* open network
* turn off airplane
* turn off wireless
* turn on wired
The network icon is gone at this point.
System always comes up in "wireless" mode.
Would be NICE if it you could set "work" or "home" and toggle.

Can you post 'journalctl -b' output from just before, during, and after you turn of wireless, so we can see what is happening when the system goes into airplane mode? Turning off wireless *is* turning wifi airplane mode on, but that should not affect wired networking at all. However, some laptops have BIOS functions that turn off all networking in "airplane" mode, so you might poke around in BIOS to see if that is the case with your model, and turn that off. I know some Dell Latitude laptops can do this. Created attachment 858641 [details]

I assumed that making changes without rebooting would be OK. If not, send me instructions detailing exactly what you need.

Which process are you using to "disable the wireless"? Are you choosing "turn off" from the Wi-Fi section of the GNOME Shell network status icon? In this case, yes, the network settings menu was used. Created attachment 892882 [details]

journal -b as requested ... if not right, ping me
The symantecs of this fault are important to explain. I've got a 'newish' Dell Latitude 6340 laptop - with the Wifi On/Off switch. Putting the switch into the Off position - does what it is meant to - ie switches off the wireless (correct). The most annoying things about this switch is that is it also disables the onboard hardwired ethernet port at the same time - or more clearly - it seems to cause the port to go ethdown. You can re-enable it easily enough by manually selecting the port from the menu dropdown [top right] in Gnome3. I will find a bluetooth dongle and try and see if that starts/stop when the wireless enable/disable switch is toggled and add more to this fault when I've done this. Fedora 21 x86_64 Workstation edition NetworkManager-0.9.10.2-5.fc21.x86_64 Thanks Max (In reply to Max E from comment #14) > The symantecs of this fault are important to explain. > > I've got a 'newish' Dell Latitude 6340 laptop - with the Wifi On/Off switch. > Putting the switch into the Off position - does what it is meant to - ie > switches off the wireless (correct).

Also, toggle the hardware switch and check what it causes, by getting output of commands like: $ dmesg $ rfkill list $ ip addr Hello Jirka, I did actually find that the WWLAN controller when ethernet is plugged in - was switched OFF. I have now switched this on....Lets see if that makes a difference. As requested, a number of output files from my laptop as requested. dmesg,rfkill list and ip addr - outputs with Wireless LAN hardware disable on [ie wireless disabled] and hardware disable off [ie wireless working].

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
