I've tried kernel 4.6rc3 to no avail (same machine, Dell XPS 13 9350). The thing has the broadcom 4350 card.
I'm running a 4.4 lowlatency kernel on this machine, which is not upgraded automatically or anything, so the problem can IMHO not come from a kernel change, but it must be something network-manager (or external driver) related. The "error getting signal strenght" is only a consequence of the wifi not being recognized as a wifi, but as an ethernet connection. Ethernet doesn't have the parameter "signal strength". The problem lies here: GERÄT TYP STATUS VERBINDUNG docker0 bridge verbunden docker0 wlp3s0 ethernet verbunden wlp3s0 wlp3s0 is found to be an ethernet connection. Since today also my MacBook Pro shows the same behaviour, with a broadcom BCM43602. I manage to get wifi running by defining the ssid/passphrase with wpa_passphrase, starting wpa_supplicant manually and then running dhclient on the interface and setting a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf by hand. I ordered an Intel wifi card for now, want to see if this changes anything. Strange enough, every 26th (or something around that) will let the wifi show up like it's supposed to, so the problem is really very hard to grasp. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569484 Title: Auto Ethernet connection profile appears.
