Some details - boot into Gnome with lan cable connected: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M9k6HalwQrDTHDtVagkMz1CQjxYk6af8/view?usp=sharing You see what is the network line, but without a label... -> confusing - if in this scenario I click on the right arrow: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19olKfBRwyjr-nezSxQUhrmgjBtY1qPl8/view?usp=sharing You verify expanding that it is indeed relatd to wired lan settings But there is no "direct" option to interact with wifi Even if you detach the lan cable, you get this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-VuZssh-XilIrA-hsn-915H7oOSezTFy/view?usp=sharing So you loose the "no label" line related to wired network. But even waiting for some time there is no wifi line appearing... You can go into Settings page (the bottom left icon in previous screenshots) and in Wi-Fi you see the available wireless networks (now I have no more the problem of wifi disabled, so I can connect). Direct boot without lan cable connected: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UBwzkiL_6UeNzNf2GP4N00ToRWeNvbcq/view?usp=sharing You now see an explicit wireless line, with indication that it is not connected (in case none of the automatic-connect wifi networks is not available, otherwise you see the connection active) Expanding the wifi line: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d1B1ixchTWz8EI5TpiaIeOPYJbigEyzq/view?usp=sharing So you see the choice for the wireless lan you want to connect to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10-7z5ZsjYZpCL5_bAJUopDvzSnb_d-6M/view?usp=sharing Hope I have clarified. In my opinion we have two things: - wired network line without label and so a bit confusing - wireless options automatically hidden if you are connected through lan cable. This could be a feature or not depending on the final user. It would be nice if one can explicitly choose the behavior Cheers, Gianluca
