Description mattlopha 2017-03-06 15:04:07 CET
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.

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).
