I can attest to the fact powerdevil with its devilish tentacles which dragged |
| 17 |
in NetworkManager was the cause of my problems, plus KDE's default setting: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
'Enable bluetooth integration' |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
was causing all this obex race by dbus. Now I have a 'normal' system to work |
| 22 |

The only thing I noticed after I disabled the wifi, rfkilled it and pulled the |

USB dongle was this entry in the logs: |

|

Jun 24 18:23:51 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 3 |
| 28 |
Jun 24 18:23:53 localhost /etc/init.d/net.wlp0s18f2u1[5619]: net.wlp0s18f2u1: |

not allowed to be hotplugged |
| 30 |
Jun 24 18:23:53 localhost dhcpcd[3208]: wlp0s18f2u1: removing interface |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'm not sure of its meaning ... |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Is openrc angry with me for unplugging the by definition pluggable and already |
| 35 |
disabled USB device? :-/ |
