Ghost or nameless wifis in plasma wifi tray

I can only see the name of some wifi's available.The rest just does'nt show the name and just have a disconnect option beside it.
I tried reinstalling NetworkManager and also the plasma-nm .
I restarted the NetworkManager service  but still its is present.
I removed iwd and wpa_supplicant as it was present along with it.
I also removed the kde plasma tray applet config and quit and restarted the plasma shell.|
But still the problem is prevalent.How can i fix it.

Re: Ghost or nameless wifis in plasma wifi tray

You need to have wpa_supplicant or iwd installed, wpa_supplicant would be the logical default.

what output do you get from

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
nmcli connection show
nmcli general status
nmcli device status

Re: Ghost or nameless wifis in plasma wifi tray

I only had the wpa supplicant service disabled . The wpa supplicant is still installed as i fond it is required by networkmanager.

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

=== Output ===

Re: Ghost or nameless wifis in plasma wifi tray

I have the same issue, 6 permanent connections without namer or descriptions, show QR does nothing and they're not present in network settings, either in nmcli connection show.

Perhaps a new Plasma bug? I've had a weird behavior of WiFi tray before with shifted and ghost connections, but they never stayed for long.
