Dumb question: on my old Latitude, I have to make sure wireless is turned
on with the little on the right side of the laptop. (When I bring it into
work for conformation conformance, they turn it off, since they plug it
in....)

Hello Mark & Fred,

thanks for the reply's.

See the last part of the my mail:


The only difference I can think of, is that I now installed from Centos7.1 minimal install media, and before from Centos7 DVD.
But there I also select minimal install.


And then I sent another mail saying:


and that is indeed the case.

When installing from Centos7 DVD, I end up with wireless managed by NetworkManager
When I install form the more recent 7.1 minimal install media ( not sure of the exact name ) I end up with wireless not managed
by NetworkManager.

Further, for as long as I can remember, I always try to get rid of gnome keyring by renaming:

mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring /usr/bin/gnome-keyring.bak
mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-3 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-3.bak
mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.bak

but now this is preventing me from connecting to wireless networks.

Greetings, Johan


Hello All,

this problem got bigger for me, and I could realy use some help.
I now installed from a CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso, selecting minimal install in Anaconda.
After the install, the wireless interface shows up unmanaged by NetworkManager.

Before, I thought this could be due to using the minimal install media.

[root@localhost ~]# nmcli d
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
p4p1 ethernet connected p4p1
lo loopback unmanaged --
wlp1s0 wifi unmanaged --

After installing the same way in Centos7, the wireless card is automaticaly managed by NetworkManager as far as I
can tell.

lspci shows the right kernel module so this is not a driver issue. I use the same wifi cards in all the machines.

I'm sure there are ways to make this work without NetworkManager, but I would like to have my users
just click on the nm icon and select a wireless network.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Many thanks.
Johan
