somehow network-manager makes it work. But I've had it with gnome, and none of the command line tools or references I've found work. That includes /etc/network/interfaces, direct use of ifconfig,iw,ip,rfkill,wpa_supplicant,dhclient, and wicd-client (though it's not really what I want.
Is this even still possible or have the systemd assholes decided we shouldn't be doing it? I believe the problem with the traditional wpa_supplicatn approach is related to syslog entries like these: May 21 17:00:06 debian kernel: iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: can't access the RSA semaphore it is write protected But as I say somehow network-manager makes it work. I just got a new laptop after 10 years, I didn't realize how bad the situation has become with systemd udev gnome etc. Britton
