@cyphermox, has there been any proper solution of this since then? Is the patch still needed?

This is because the steps taken to start in OEM prepare, before moving to the real system runs systemctl isolate, and wpasupplicant gets caught in the crossfire. [Test case] * Steps to reproduce: 1. Install in OEM mode 2. Boot into OS 3. Check the wifi status in network-manager applet * Expected result: Available APs listed in network-manager applet, wifi connection can be established * Actual result: AP list replaced by a greyed-out "device not ready" wording Reboot system or do "$ sudo service network-manager restart" and wifi will then start working correctly. [Regression potential] The following are examples of possible regression scenarios from this stable update: - Failure to get the wireless device ready at session start - Driver loading issues for the wireless devices - Failure to complete OEM preparation steps, due to the oem user remaining connected while it's being removed by the last steps of the OEM preparation process. [Background information] * OS: Xenial * Network-manager: 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 * Wireless module: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88W8897 [AVASTAR] 802.11ac Wireless [11ab:2b38] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1576024/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
