The Wi-fi drops out every now and then on an HP Envy 13 i5 Kaby Lake while I'm using GNOME's network-manager and this only happens in xfce. Installing network-manager-noscan from the AUR fixed this issue for me even though I just posted here in case some ways get found to make wifi work out of the box. Here's more detailed info on my wifi hardware. 01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 61) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+ Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 131 Region 0: Memory at a1200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi libkmod: kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'snd-hda-intel' Kernel modules: iwlwifi
I can't see the link with xfce4-xfapplet product or xfce :/ Please provide more informations or close it.
I used the xfce4-xfapplet label since network-manager is a GNOME plugin that's available in xfce even though I'm not sure if that was the best label. I also think this wifi issue could be a more general bug with wpa_supplicant since network-manager works well for me on other desktop environments but doesn't seem to work as well with xfce on my hardware so far.
Closing all xfce4-xfapplet-plugin (archived/deprecated/unmaintained project).
