Hi. I’m having weird problem with NetworkManager. After reboot, suspend or even toggling wifi on/off in UI, Network Manager doesn’t list any connections and can’t connect. BUT if I run iw wlp3s0 scan, it jolts into action and connects correctly. It also lists wifis but only temporarily - after few minutes it only lists active connection.
Here is some info (state before I run iw scan):
ip link
