NetworkManager doesn't find network automatically

[Reuben Firmin]

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

This is from syslog, on boot. This was working, so I don't know what changed.

It is trying to set the SSID it wants to connect to an empty string. Could please reconfigure your wireless network preferences and see if the problem persists?

[Reuben Firmin (reubenf)]

Hello, in the UI it says "No wireless networks found." If I manually enter my SSID it times out connecting to it.

[Jim Qode (jimqode)]

does uninstalling avahi-daemon solve the problem?

[Reuben Firmin (reubenf)]

Sorry, this was my problem. NetworkManager is working fine. Thanks :D
