I have recently installed a new computer. Wired network works, but I cannot manage to make the Wifi work. The wifi is integrated to the motherboard.
First, KDE Wallet is disabled, but "All users may connect to this network" has been checked and "Store password for all users (not encrypted)" has been selected.
iwconfig gives me this:
ifconfig gives me this
Now one thing I find weird is that my Wireless adapter "wlp12s0" changes it's MAC address all the time. Normally, I use MAC address filters on my Wifi, but here, I don't think I'll be able to do it if the MAC must change all the time. I never had a wireless adapter with variable MAC. The mac address filter is currently not activated on the router.
I tried to configure the network connections manually, I wanted to connect to my 5G network, but it did not worked. I tried to make a connection for the 2.4G band instead and the "save" button was grayed out.
The outcome is generally, I try to connect, it display "configuring interface" in the network dialog. Then I get an "Authorization supplicant time out" error. I also got "No agents were available for this request" and I had another error similar to "No secret was supplied" when clearly a password was supplied. It keeps asking for a password, and gives me one of the errors above even with a bad password.
I wonder if it's really KDEwallet disabling that cause all those issues.
Else, is there a way to have access to wifi without KDEwallet?
Another thing, I cannot find any documentation, in the Network connection configuration, the option "mode" has 3 values: Infrastructure, Ad-hoc, Access point. It was not really clear that those value means. For example, does "Access point" allows you to connect to an access point, or it turns your wireless device into an access point. What should be the value to connect to a router?
If you need other information, let me know.
