CentOS - Jun 2015 - NetworkManager / wireless on latest Centos7 installs

Hello All, 

on the latest installs I've done, on 2 different types of Latitude laptops,
with 3 different wireless cars, of Centos7 and Mate desktop,
it looks to me like NetworkManager is nog managing wireless. 
When clicking the nm icon in the top right corner, I'm not seeing access
points.

Wifi seems enabled 

[root at localhost ~]# nmcli g 
STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN 
connected full enabled enabled enabled enabled 

but unmanaged 
[root at localhost ~]# nmcli d 
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION 
enp0s25 ethernet connected enp0s25 
lo loopback unmanaged -- 
wlp12s0 wifi unmanaged -- 

I always start from a minimal install. 
Then I install X Window packages, and Mate 

The only difference I can think of, is that I now installed from Centos7.1
minimal install media, and before from Centos7 DVD.
But there I also select minimal install. 

How can I change this? 

Greetings, Johan

Hello All, 

on the latest installs I've done, on 2 different types of Latitude laptops,
with 3 different wireless cars, of Centos7 and Mate desktop,
it looks to me like NetworkManager is nog managing wireless. 
When clicking the nm icon in the top right corner, I'm not seeing access

and that is indeed the case.

When installing from Centos7 DVD, I end up with wireless managed by
NetworkManager
When I install form the more recent 7.1 minimal install media ( not sure of the
exact name ) I end up with wireless not managed
by NetworkManager.

Further, for as long as I can remember, I always try to get rid of gnome keyring
by renaming:

mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring /usr/bin/gnome-keyring.bak
mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-3 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-3.bak
mv /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon.bak

but now this is preventing me from connecting to wireless networks.

Greetings, Johan

FWIW, it seems to work properly on my Acer Aspire One netbook...

Dumb question: on my old Latitude, I have to make sure wireless is turned
on with the little on the right side of the laptop. (When I bring it into
work for conformation conformance, they turn it off, since they plug it
in....)
