It does to me. At least on a WPA Perosnalnetwork, I can connect using nmtui alright. This smells to me like the nm applet not talking properly to NetworkManager (which got updated on 09 Aug 2023, current version being 1.44.0-1). Will try a downgrade tomorrow. > > The nm applet seems to > > reconnect and shows the available connections, but clicking on one > > immediately yields a toast "Connection (name) deactivated" without even > > trying to conect.

System wakes up from suspend, first logs some blurb that was still in memory from before the suspend, then logs the wakeup. NetworkManager restarts, does some housekeeping and finally tries to bring up lanw0, which is the Wifi interface in question: 2023-08-21T18:49:31.974702+02:00 drop wpa_supplicant[1567]: lanw0: CTRL-EVENT-REGDOM-CHANGE init=DRIVER type=COUNTRY alpha2=DE 2023-08-21T18:49:32.017119+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0166] policy: auto-activating connection 'Zugschlus_Netgear' (919eeee7-7cfb-4d27-abcb-65ea81d39d8b) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.017435+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0172] device (lanw0): Activation: starting connection 'Zugschlus_Netgear' (919eeee7-7cfb-4d27-abcb-65ea81d39d8b) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.017648+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0174] device (lanw0): state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.018157+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0180] manager: NetworkManager state is now CONNECTING 2023-08-21T18:49:32.044987+02:00 drop systemd-networkd[932]: lanw0: Link DOWN 2023-08-21T18:49:32.045231+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0447] device (lanw0): set-hw-addr: set-cloned MAC address to BE:A4:6B:EA:FD:DB (stable) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.050770+02:00 drop systemd-networkd[932]: lanw0: Link UP 2023-08-21T18:49:32.051017+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0506] device (lanw0): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.051348+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0512] device (lanw0): Activation: (wifi) access point 'Zugschlus_Netgear' has security, but secrets are required. 2023-08-21T18:49:32.051575+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0512] device (lanw0): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.051952+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0518] device (lanw0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> interface_disabled 2023-08-21T18:49:32.052151+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0518] device (p2p-dev-lanw0): supplicant management interface state: disconnected -> interface_disabled 2023-08-21T18:49:32.052387+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <warn> [1692636572.0520] device (lanw0): no secrets: No agents were available for this request. 2023-08-21T18:49:32.052641+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0520] device (lanw0): state change: need-auth -> failed (reason 'no-secrets', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.052856+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0523] manager: NetworkManager state is now DISCONNECTED 2023-08-21T18:49:32.053097+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <warn> [1692636572.0525] device (lanw0): Activation: failed for connection 'Zugschlus_Netgear' 2023-08-21T18:49:32.053338+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0528] device (lanw0): state change: failed -> disconnected (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.096681+02:00 drop systemd-networkd[932]: lanw0: Link DOWN 2023-08-21T18:49:32.096854+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.0966] device (lanw0): set-hw-addr: set MAC address to 36:66:CB:C1:B0:3C (scanning) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.102787+02:00 drop systemd-networkd[932]: lanw0: Link UP 2023-08-21T18:49:32.106278+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.1061] policy: auto-activating connection 'Zugschlus_Netgear_5G' (b7c947c6-db17-404b-9282-b1aa499084cc) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.106910+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.1067] device (lanw0): Activation: starting connection 'Zugschlus_Netgear_5G' (b7c947c6-db17-404b-9282-b1aa499084cc) 2023-08-21T18:49:32.107132+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.1069] device (lanw0): state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') 2023-08-21T18:49:32.108023+02:00 drop NetworkManager[266999]: <info> [1692636572.1073] manager: NetworkManager state is now CONNECTING Note the "Activation: (wifi) access point 'Zugschlus_Netgear' has security, but secrets are required." and "no secrets: No agents were available for this request." In my understanding, the agent in question would be a KDE component since the secret was entered in the nm applet. Now, where does nm applet store the secrets? When I then use nmtui to connect and select the SSID, it asks me for the secret (every time again, nmtui doesnt seem to store the secret) and connects. After this, nm applet still displays the "unconnected" icon and "no available connections", but the system is conected and communicates just fine. > What kind of network btw? WLAN? Mobile? Wifi, an Intel Wireless 8260 using WPA Personal (at home WPA Enterprise, but all experiments were done on the road, eh, rails).
