I can attest to the fact powerdevil with its devilish tentacles which dragged in NetworkManager was the cause of my problems, plus KDE's default setting: 'Enable bluetooth integration' was causing all this obex race by dbus. Now I have a 'normal' system to work with. :-) The only thing I noticed after I disabled the wifi, rfkilled it and pulled the USB dongle was this entry in the logs: Jun 24 18:23:51 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 3 Jun 24 18:23:53 localhost /etc/init.d/net.wlp0s18f2u1[5619]: net.wlp0s18f2u1: not allowed to be hotplugged Jun 24 18:23:53 localhost dhcpcd[3208]: wlp0s18f2u1: removing interface I'm not sure of its meaning ... Is openrc angry with me for unplugging the by definition pluggable and already disabled USB device? :-/ -- Regards, Mick
