Apart from any net-applet crash, ifplugd is failing to start wireless
interfaces with current kernels
Hi,
Do you have any more details about this?
It works fine here.
Also check that you are using initscripts 9.34-30.mga3
This all started with https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7849 , but
I'd swear there was discussion in the ML beyond what's in the bug
report, because I recall others reporting similar problems with the same
kernel. Or maybe my memory is as bad as it usually is, and the other
reports were for the same kernel on non-Mageia systems that I found by
googling.
I haven't tested since, because this was the straw on the camel's back
that finally got me to pull enough teeth to find out that NM won't work
in KDE without manual intervention. Once I got NM to work, I never went
back.
However, bug#8169 references a BCM chip rather than an RTL chip, and
while my laptop with the RTL chip is still out of commission, my new one
has a BCM chip, so I can try a new install and retest ifplugd with
current cauldron. I hadn't bothered to date, since no one ever updated
bug#7849 to indicate that anything had been done about it.
