Ubuntu Core 22/beta.Wireless interface wlx (TPLink) not connecting

[Marcel Guerreiro]

The interface is there, and SSID is found. When trying to connect, it shows autoconfiguration failed.

See attached journal export.

I'm not seeing the pi-kernel snap doing anything wrong. Is this the log from the first boot or what am I looking at? Can you establish a connection using the built-in wlan0?

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

Oh. you're using network-manager snap? Can you walk me through your setup/config steps?

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

Probably not good:

What's the output of 'rfkill list all'?

[Marcel Guerreiro (guerrm)]

You can close this one.
It has a conflict with network manager.
When I run it with a clean Core 22/beta image it connects.

Thanks
