Wrong type of Wi-Fi device (wlp2s0) after boot

[Yuriy Vidineev]

Hello
My Wi-Fi adapter is Intel 7260. After boot I have

nmcli device status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
wlp2s0 ethernet unavailable --
lo loopback unmanaged --

after some dirty fix (sudo rmmod iwlmvm iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi)

nmcli device status
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
wlp2s0 wifi disconnected --
lo loopback unmanaged --

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same issue, however using brcmfmac instead of iwlwifi.

Your workaround (reloading the module) works fine.

Atheros AR9462 - the same problem. rmmod ath9k && modprobe ath9k fixes the problem
