Package: libkf5networkmanagerqt6
Version: 5.25.0-1
Severity: important
File: networkmanager

Dear Maintainer,

Updating nm breaks its ability to connect to Wifi networks.

I am using a broadcom chip with the firmware-sta-dkms package installed.
It worked well until I updated to 5.25.0-1 when, although it saw the
wifi networks around me, it cannot connect to them (log attached)

A work around is to disable mac address randomization as described in
[1]. However while using this work around, the plasma widget in the
system tray shows that the network is not connected (the icon is the blank
wifi symbol with a question mark), however it is actually connected and
working.

I do not know if the fix that has been committed upstream [2] solves
this second issue or not.

Thanks

¡Hola!

This part is reported in kde:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367938 And I can confirm that restarting plasmashell fixes it.

It also mentions that the network-manager issue that causes this was reported here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770629

So, it seems that https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=923eaa6a478f95a69d1b9ccac429c7ffea3e4af4 needs to be applied in network-manager, and that might be unrelated to the issue mentioned earlier.

This fix is present in network manager for a couple of versions now, so I'm closing this issue.

Happy hacking,
