fixed upstream master: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=142ebb10376ec592593f15b0359f38be89c97620 nm-1-8: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=0726ab54d675fe5f6f2a8599dbf30d43a2214c0f
Actually, the fix has a problem. Need this upstream commit: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=33d3ec3b3e5d2e737afc8db6c64850e67db5c12d Back to MODIFIED.
This works well now. Install server, install -wifi package, restart NM service, wireless device goes to disconnected.
