 |
|
Hi all,
I’ve done a system update and after reboot can’t get my Wi-Fi to work again.
syslog has the following error:
| Code: | | NetworkManager: <error> iwd-manager: failed to acquire IWD Object Manager: Wi-Fi will not be available (Error calling StartServiceByName for net.connman.iwd: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1) |
Any ideas what this could be? I couldn’t find online references to such error.
Drivers seem to be properly loaded and rfkill is not showing any blocked devices. nmcli won’t list any Wi-Fi networks, but does show.

Many thanks for the reference. Will apply.
In the meantime I've managed to connect via wi-fi using iwd in the meantime with iwctl and then setting ip, dns and ip route manually, so I can fix this now as I don't have any way to connect using cable atm.
A reference for anyone needing to connect temporarily with iwd on WPA2 networks:
| Code: | # iwctl station wlan0 get-networks
# iwctl station wlan0 connect <SSID>
Passphrase: **************
# ip address add <ipaddress/mask> dev wlan0
# ip route add default via <gateway>
# echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" | resolvconf -a wlan0 |
example:
| Code: | # iwctl station wlan0 get-networks
# iwctl station wlan0 connect SomeNetworkName
Passphrase: mynetworkpassphrase
# ip address add 192.168.1.100/24 dev wlan0
# ip route add default via 192.168.1.1
# echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" | resolvconf -a wlan0 |

Thank you! That was a life saver on 3 systems. I'm wondering why they don't document such changes in an ebuild message for example. |
