Public bug reported: I get this error in my log a lot: "Jun 21 15:04:00 basspistol NetworkManager[834]: <warn> [1466514240.9769] (wlan0): error getting signal strength: No such device"
My wireless device (TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter) is getting a very funky name: "wlxc46e1f1abe34". It's not too much of a problem since the connection is established and working, but it renders the wifi-strength icon as if it was receiving maximum signal strength. Restarting the network-manager with: "sudo systemctl restart network- manager.service" solves the problem. Not sure if it is related, but i am also affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1589401 Even after upgrading to: network-manager-gnome:amd64 (1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1, 1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3) on 2016-06-19 Let me know if there is any complementary information i can provide.
