Description Michele 2016-04-04 14:37:51 UTC
Description of problem:
On a freshly installed (and updated) Fedora 24 Alpha, immediately after boot the wireless adapter is not correctly recognized by Gnome and is shown as a wired adapter instead. This is visible in the top-right applet as well as in the settings. It is impossible then to connect to any wireless network (I am reporting this from another OS).
Let me know how can I help to fix this.

Forgot to mention that the problem occurred on a Surface Pro 3.

Comment 2 Michele 2016-04-18 18:22:20 UTC
To this day, the released updates did not fix the problem. I guess it's related to the new networkmanager 1.2 infrastructure? With Fedora 23 it worked fine.
I also noticed that the few times the adapter is correctly recognized not always it manages to find the wireless networks available. Let's say that I have to be lucky, because 50% of the times it doesn't find any network.

Both Fedora 23 and Windows 10 work fine.

Please let me know how can I help to troubleshoot the problem since if not fixed prevents Fedora to be usable on my pc.

[PATCH] platform: add logs to debug link type matching

Hi,

I've tried with different wifi adapters but this issue didn't happen
to me. It would be useful if you could try a version of NM with the
attached patch. If you need pre-compiled RPMs for F24 you can download
them from:

 http://people.redhat.com/~bgalvani/NM/rh1323736/

and install with 'rpm -Fvh *.rpm'. After, modify the line

#level=TRACE

to:

level=TRACE

in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and run

 systemctl restart NetworkManager

Now, when the problem appears again, please run:

 journalctl -u NetworkManager -b > log.txt

and attach the log.txt file to this bugzilla. Thanks!

Comment 5 Michele 2016-05-09 09:14:46 UTC
I still have to try the fixed version you mentioned in comment 4, unluckily I cannot boot in fedora anymore due to another bug. But I managed to get a log as you requested before that happened.
I attach it here, might be useful. As soon as I manage to boot again in fedora it'll update it fully and test if it happens again.
