Installed openSUSE Factory using the openSUSE- Factory- NET-i586- Current. iso.
During installation, wireless is detected but unable to connect so the installation was performed with Ethernet (RJ45) cable instead of wireless.
After installation,
noticed that when using Ethernet (RJ45) cable, do not need to wait much for the internet connection to be established during boot up.
However, if I were to remove the Ethernet cable and try to connect using wireless during boot up, will need to wait approximately 2 minutes before openSUSE activates the wireless connection.
Did try switching to Wicked and Disbling Network Service.
It allows the configuring of the Wireless and Ethernet connection but the 2 minutes wait is still there, even after configuring wireless and reboot.
Installed Fluxbox and nm-applet and booted into them.
Confirmed that the 2 minutes wait is still there.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into openSUSE Factory
2. Wait for wireless connection.
3.
Actual Results:
Need to wait approximately 2 minutes before wireless connects
Expected Results:
Wireless connection within a very short period
