I fail to understand the point of this SRU. What good does it do to have the wifi connected at the login prompt, but disconnect from that network after login? I did see this, in the original description: > Use-case from the customer > > When the user receives the notebook, he needs to connect to his local network > via WiFi.

Or do they have the mentioned polkit rules (a local configuration, I gather) that allow the connection to "survive" the login? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2098016 Title: Ubuntu 24.04 WiFi from gdm3 login screen: cannot select new network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/2098016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
