On first boot: [8.824974] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 [9.133313] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [9.206671] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [9.324861] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready On reboot: [3.515363] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 [4.386126] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [4.610799] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [4.712271] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link is not ready [7.614299] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp3s0: link becomes ready It appears that the system gives up/times out trying to make the device ready when being booted the first time, but the process happens much faster on later reboots. This is solved by either rebooting, or restarting network-manager, as indicated above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576024 Title: Wifi "device not ready" after booting into OS for the 1st time Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: * Steps to reproduce: 1.
