I just noticed lower case L and the digit one, "l" and "1", look almost identical. I renamed ifcfg-w1p1s0 to ifcfg-wlp1s0 and updated the NAME= field. Restarted NetworkManager, still no change.
I know that Intel card is working. It finds the SSIDs being broadcast around here. Why NetworkManager won't manage it is driving me nuts.

Oh wow - this might be significant - buried inside /var/log/messages: Jul 29 19:33:53 rapidcity-fw NetworkManager[684]: <info> (wlp1s0): 'wifi' plugin not available; creating generic device Which lead to this: dnf install -y NetworkManager-wifi And that solved the problem after more than 8 hours of damage to my self-esteem. My vote from the field - it's a bug. Pieces that used to be there by default are apparently not anymore. NetworkManager has been split to several packages/plugins for various device types, which allows lowering NM fingerprint. NetworkManager-wifi may not be installed on minimal installation or server by default. Then you need to install the package manually (if you require WiFi support). See bug 1230223. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1230223 *** |
Description of problem: My Intel 7260 wireless NIC always shows up as "Unmanaged" with nmcli. So I am unable to use nmcli to scan or connect to any WiFi access points. This worked fine with previous versions of Fedora. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 22 with the latest updates as of 7/29/2015 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Observe the problem with "nmcli device status". Device w1p1s0 is unmanaged. 2. 3. Actual results: See step 1 above. Expected results: NetworkManager should be able to manage this device. Additional info: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is right out of the box: [root@rapidcity-fw NetworkManager]# more NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifcfg-rh Here is the relevant info from nmcli device show: GENERAL.DEVICE: wlp1s0 GENERAL.TYPE: wifi GENERAL.HWADDR: 48:51:B7:34:88:7F GENERAL.MTU: 1500 GENERAL.STATE: 10 (unmanaged) GENERAL.CONNECTION: -- GENERAL.CON-PATH: -- IP4.GATEWAY: IP6.GATEWAY: After installation, there was no ifcfg-w1p1s0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. This is consistent with earlier behavior. In case something changed with F22, I created one by hand in the hopes that NetworkManager would find it and decide to manage it. This made no difference - maybe because I gave it no UUID?. In case this is relevant, here is what I created: [root@rapidcity-fw network-scripts]# more ifcfg-w1p1s0 HWADDR=48:51:b7:34:88:7f TYPE=Wireless BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no NAME=w1p1s0 ##UUID=da9eb3fa-3a98-4f39-81f1-7f91984c8888 ONBOOT=yes PEERDNS=yes PEERROUTES=yes IPV6_PEERDNS=yes IPV6_PEERROUTES=yes [root@rapidcity-fw network-scripts]# Here is the relevant output from iwconfig: wlp1s0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on Here is what lspci had to say - 5 wired NIC ports and the Intel WiFi: [root@rapidcity-fw network-scripts]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx DRAM Controller (rev 04) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 1 (rev 02) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 2 (rev 02) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family PCI Express Port 4 (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.3 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB controller: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation NM10 Family LPC Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [IDE mode] (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SMBus Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev c3) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
