Description Martin 2014-02-05 16:59:16 UTC
Description of problem:
KDE NM applet doesn't show to what wireless network is connected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9.0.9-5.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some configured wireless network with autoconnect enabled.
2. Login to KDE.
3. Click on KDE NM applet in notification area.

Actual results:
I'm connected, I can use network resource, but I can't determine to what network. I have to choose network from list and reconnect, then I see it correctly.

Comment 2 Martin 2014-02-05 17:02:30 UTC
How reproducible:
randomly

> How reproducible:

Always after each reboot (undocked, without ethernet). But doesn't after relogin.

Comment 4 Vera Budikova 2014-02-13 14:54:07 UTC
Martin, do you have NetworkManager-config-server package installed?
If you do, remove this package, restart network-manager and try steps again.

Comment 5 Jan Grulich 2014-02-13 17:20:02 UTC
I just checked NetworkManager-config-server package and it affects only ethernet devices (whether the cable is plugged in or not), so removing won't have any effect. I'm still not able to reproduce this issue, even on the latest nightly RHEL build.

Yes, I have. But no change after removing package.

Comment 7 Jan Grulich 2014-03-03 10:43:58 UTC
Moving it to RHEL 7.1, because I'm not able to reproduce it and don't know what to fix in this moment.

Comment 8 Simon S 2014-03-14 10:03:39 UTC
Similar thing happened for me in Fedora 20, the applet didn't show any interfaces or any wireless networks even though it was connected and working. It got back to normal after restarting NetworkManager

systemctl restart NetworkManager
