RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
When I set autonnect on wifi where always ask for password is set too (eg, RedHat here) network list wont regenerate until user is successfully logged in.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
control-center-3.26.2-8.el7
NetworkManager-1.10.2-13.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set autoconnect and always ask for password for one wifi network
2. watch the network list in control-center or gnome-shell
3.

Actual results:
Network list shows only one network and network list update is blocked until auth process is finished. Either connected or disconnected due to wrong password. In case of wrong password another wifi networks appear but just for a while.

Expected results:
Not sure what is the correct behavior perhaps network list should be always generated.

Hi Ben,

Could you help?

Thanks!

NM doesn't rescan for wifi networks while a connection attempt is in progress on the device. I don't think this changed from previous releases.

Mass-moving bugs RHEL <= 7.6.0 to 7.7.0.
As we are past RFE deadline for 7.7.0 and we should have no new features on 7.8.0, please evaluate if it's still wanted on RHEL7 and contact PM for exception. You may also move it to RHEL8 if that's wanted. Thanks!

Hi, I believe this is the correct behavior. When a wifi device is
connecting to a network (and in this case it is waiting for user to
supply secrets), I don't think it useful to scan for other networks.

I'm closing this bug, please reopen or add a comment if you think the
behavior should be changed. Thank you.
