Help with wireless device

[Larry Finger <Larry Finger lwfinger net>]

Hi,

One of the people I'm trying to help on the openSUSE Forum has a problem in that
the KDE applet always has wireless networking disabled. Once it is enabled
manually, then the wireless comes up as expected.

In /var/log/NetworkManager, the following is reported:

  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): bringing up device.
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): deactivating
device (reason: 2).
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <info>  modem-manager is now available
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <WARN>  default_adapter_cb(): bluez
error getting default adapter: The name org.bluez was not provided by any
.service files
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <info>  Trying to start the
supplicant...
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): supplicant manager
state:  down -> idle
  Dec 31 14:54:59 linux-ioxs nm-dispatcher.action: Script
'/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/netcontrol_services' exited with error status 127.

Why is wlan0 deactivated with reason 2?

What should we be checking? AFAICT, everything in the Connection Manager is correct.

Thanks,

Larry
