I've got a number of Fedora machines that have wifi and have had
no issues with being able to work with connecting to various wifis.
But had done a setup for my brothers one notebook with Fedora
40, and it would come up with a message that system policy was
requiring authentication??
It would have a pop up screen come up like 10 or more times
showing his user id, but box to enter password work not allow
entry??
Then eventually, the last one would have cursor appear, and would
have to enter the password into each of the pop up windows??
Eventually found this solution.
In
/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d#/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d creating the file with contents 47-allow-wifi-scans.pkla
[Allow Wifi Scan]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action="">
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes
The notebook I'm using has no such file, and it has always worked.
So confused why brothers machine had issues?
His is the only user on machine.
Only thing different, is his had Fedora 39 installed cleanly a while
ago, while mine has had many updates over years?
This solution worked, but was there a better one?
Thanks.
