[SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

Upgrading to NetworkManager 1.10 broke my wifi connection. Used to work fine before now it doesn't seem to be able to get past the wpa_supplicant phase.

Downgrading to 1.8.5-dev fixes it.

UPDATE:

changing dhcp client from the now-default "internal" to "dhclient" fixes this issue (or I should say work-arounds). I still get occasional DNS "fallouts" and have to reconnect tho, so maybe there's more.
To change the default dhcp client used edit

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

and make sure to have

[main]
dhcp=dhclient

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

Could you explain where this "internal" option is please?

I can't see anything in any of my config files.

Had to downgrade to 1.8.5dev+22+g5f2855fad-1 as a quick fix as well.

It's in

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Mine looks like:

# Configuration file for NetworkManager.
# See "man 5 NetworkManager.conf" for details.
[main]
dns=dnsmasq
dhcp=dhclient

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

I ended up fixing it by simply going into /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections and deleting my WiFi profiles.

Once I reconnected, everything was good.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

Same thing.Try edit NetworkManager.conf and delete all my profiles at /etc/NeworkManager/system-connections, and it helps,but only for first load.After rebooting i have the same issue. Kdewalletmanager not showing password window,when try to connect manualy,show kdewalletmanager windows,but could not connect to wifi.After trying all connection dissapears, and shows only after turning wifi off -> on. Removing profiles and rebooting helps,but i need to do it every time.

Also config not working,becouse in journalctl i see this message:
"Nov 21 21:23:01 Tesseract NetworkManager[398]: <warn>  [1511288581.6508] dhcp-init: DHCP client 'dhclient' not available"
Anybody know how to fix this problem? Or only downgrading?

You need to install dhclient via pacman.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

Hi! I still see quite a problem in not reconnecting the wifi after reboot (using NM 1.10+). I experience this in all machines with Arch I can think of. But they are all with KDE Plasma. Can somebody here please confirm there is the same problem in Gnome (or other then KDE)?

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager 1.10 breaks wifi

Confirm this,

my laptop always fails first connection to wifi after reboot since upgrading to NM 1.10.x.
I need to wait for the initial connection attempt to fail and then connect manually.
I also recreated all previously stored wifi connections to no avail
BTW I'm running KDE on a Clevo laptop with Intel wifi card
