Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.14.4

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Copied from
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a8xl5d/wifi_switching_almost_always_fails/
The issue is this: When I am currently connected normally to a wireless network
and attempt to switch to another wireless network which is also in range, it
drops the first, then says "Configuring interface" under the second one to
which I wish to switch, and then after 30 seconds or so of configuring, it
almost always fails with the message "the WIFI network could not be found", and
then connects back to the first network.
Why I know this is an issue: If I manually disconnect from the first network,
and click connect on the second network without having been connected to
anything, it works. This happens irrespective of which two wireless networks I
am using.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a wireless network
2. Click on another wireless network
OBSERVED RESULT
Can't connect
EXPECTED RESULT
Can connect
WORKAROUND
disconnect first and then connect
