Wireless interface doesn't start on boot
Last modified: 2020-11-23 10:55:19 UTC
After updating to Tumbleweed 20190805, the wireless interface is not started during boot anymore and the following errors show up in the log: wickedd[766]: ni_wpa_interface_bind(wlan0): Operation not permitted wickedd[766]: wpa_supplicant doesn't know interface wlan0 wickedd-nanny[768]: device wlan0: call to org.opensuse.Network.Wireless.changeDevice() failed: General failure wickedd-nanny[768]: wlan0: failed to bring up device, still continuing wicked[769]: lo setup-in-progress wicked[769]: wlan0 device-not-running Since I noticed that the latest update changed the starting order of wpa_supplicant.service, I tried to revert it. By simply adding back Before=network.target in /usr/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service the booting process is back to normal with a working wifi.
I have the same problem on a 32bit Tumbleweed system. Same type of error message.
Please correct this. I experienced it once again on a 32bit Tumbleweed system.
On my 64bits Tumbleweed machine I have the same problem to activate a wireless USB dongle. So I use the Wiki article "Reporting Wicked/Networking related bugs" to report the problem. It looks like sequencing processes is not right. dec 11 12:54:49.466295 eiktum wickedd[1268]: ni_wpa_interface_bind(wlp0s22f2u2): Interrupted system call dec 11 12:54:49.466299 eiktum wickedd[1268]: wpa_supplicant doesn't know interface wlp0s22f2u2 The suggested solution by Luca Billi about changing the starting order does not work, which did work in August on the 32bit machine, but now not anymore. So the following attachments will be added: config-ifcfg.tgz config-dump.log status.log journal.log, however using grep wicked ip_addr.log routes.log wicked-version.log iptables.txt ip6tables.txt hwinfo-netcard.log wpa_supplicant.log

Changed priority to major, because running a cable over the floor is harmful.
