After updating to Fedora 28 (+all updates and testing updates) the wifi connection of my laptop takes almost 30s as opposed to almost instantaneous with F27. This is on Lenovo Thinkpad T450s. I can see one difference in /var/log/messages between F27 and F28. In F28 I get: ----------------- May 5 12:54:06 Thinkpad audit[1]: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=NetworkManager-wait-online comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed' May 5 12:54:06 Thinkpad systemd[1]: NetworkManager-wait-online.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE May 5 12:54:06 Thinkpad systemd[1]: NetworkManager-wait-online.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. May 5 12:54:06 Thinkpad systemd[1]: Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online. ------------------ On F27: ------------------ May 1 16:06:26 Thinkpad systemd[1]: Started Network Manager Wait Online. May 1 16:06:26 Thinkpad audit[1]: SERVICE_START pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=NetworkManager-wait-online comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=success' May 1 16:06:26 Thinkpad systemd[1]: Reached target Network is Online. ------------------
The issue with NetworkManager-wait-online.service can be solved by reducing the timeout in NetworkManager-wait-online.service from 30 to a lower number like 5. However, this did not resolve the long pause issue that I am having. What works is to uncheck the "Automatically connect to network when available" option in kde plasma. After this as soon as you log in you can choose to connect to the service and there is no delay in this case. Do we learn something about the culprit from this info? Thanks.
Ok. If I have the "password" stored for "all" users than it instantaneously comes on upon login. Does this mean the change is coming from KDE plasma and not NM? Because something has changed since F28 since for all previous versions of Fedora it worked as expected.
I think you have my same issue, the problem seem caused by a race condition between kwallet and networkmanger. more info: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794014 in my case after boot plasma-nm applet stuck on 'waiting for authorization' and i have to wait or disconnect and reconnect network manually
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
