However it seems that since the last update of the iwl* files, or maybe the NetworkManager files, kernel 4.5 will not start the WiFi. From what I can see the fact that NetworkManager is still a running service means that the wired Ethernet port cannot be started.
NetworkManager should bring up the wired ethernet as soon as the port detects a connection.
Is there something wrong with my set up that stops NetworkManager using wired Ethernet?
Anything in the logs?
I found that stopping the NetworkManager service allows me to use ifup to get the wired Ethernet working, but this is initd type stuff rather than systemd type stuff and so feels ugly, or is it the right thing?
ifup should work with NetworkManager. Have you tried running ifup with NetworkManager running?
What is officially the best way of getting wired Ethernet to be part of the set up?
It should just work.
