Title:
NetworkManager looking for signal strength in 'wlan0' instead of the
apropriate 'wlxc46e1f1abe34"
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I get this error in my log a lot:
"Jun 21 15:04:00 basspistol NetworkManager[834]: <warn> [1466514240.9769]
(wlan0): error getting signal strength: No such device"
My wireless device (TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter) is
getting a very funky name: "wlxc46e1f1abe34". It's not too much of a
problem since the connection is established and working, but it
renders the wifi-strength icon as if it was receiving maximum signal
strength.
Restarting the network-manager with: "sudo systemctl restart network-
manager.service" solves the problem.
Not sure if it is related, but i am also affected by this bug:
