This sound pretty much like what I was saying... Try to isolate where the problem comes from... Between the launch of the computer and the complete Gnome desktop launched, much happens in matter of network. 1st try to connect to your network using CLI (nmcli) 2nd try to connact to your network by using CLI tools like iwconfig directly. 3rd look at the logs. >> CLI utilities confirm that my IPv6 is enabled and that WiFi interface >> is assigned an IPv6 address.

I only suggested to try connecting to the network using single user text mode instead of going thru Gnome whole stack. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
