    Network card [Wifi] disappeared from Network Manager

    Hi there,
    I have a new Kubuntu installation on my laptop. At the beginning everything worked fine. However, after a while I started getting "no secrets were provided" when connecting to some WiFi networks. I tried fixing it in different ways and now at the Icon at the bottom there are no WiFi networks anymore. After a lot of tweaking including removing and re-installing network manager and many other things I tried (rfkill, dmesg, /etc/network/interfaces config and more), I got the point where:

    1. wicd-curses works fine. It always worked fine, finds the netwroks and connects perfect.
    2. I connected another USB Wifi dongle and that works fine both on KDE GUI and wicd-curses
    3. Another problem is that after connecting to wicd-curses, KDE seems not to route to the right interface. I can see that I'm connected and ifconfig shows a proper IP but any attempt to browse or use any client (FireFox, Chromium, email, etc) says there is no network connected. Is there a way of telling the system to use a certain interface? Am I missing something?

    So I'm stuck with the KDE that seems to like only a certain kind of network card, but the original wifi seems to be installed (since it works with wicd and worked before on KDE too).


    Note: I haven't changed any drivers or Kernel stuff. Any ideas?

    Thanks

      Thanks man! you wont believe how helpful that script was. After going through the output (which many of the commands I already ran during my attempts to fix it) I found that NetworkManager wasn't managing the device. A quick search in Google showed that NM ignores devices that are in /etc/network/interfaces (I added it there to try make it work). After removing and restarting NM it's back!

      As for the "no secrets were provided" I figured it out when I started using the new USB stick and the same problem appeared there too. Apparently there is a bug/problem with KWallet. I believe this is only in the last versions of KDE. I disabled the wallet and now I need to enter the password when I connect but at least it works...

      Thanks again and I'm saving this excellent script for future usage.

        You're welcome!
        However, it's not my script. It is a blessing of the GPL. Freely I received (from Snowhog, if memory serves me right) and freely I passed along.
