NetworkManager 1.4.2 does not automatically connect to wifi network

[Florin <florin resin io>]

Hi all,

I have a strange issue with NetworkManager 1.4.2 with a wifi chipset using the wl18xx kernel module.

I have the system-connections set-up but NM won't automatically connect. It will only connect if I use "nmcli con up <conenction name>".

On the other hand, using a wifi usb dongle, such as the raspberry pi official dongle, which uses a BCM43143 chipset, autoconnect to the same network works as expected.

logs are these:
