See the last part of the my mail: 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. And then I sent another mail saying: 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 Hello All, this problem got bigger for me, and I could realy use some help. I now installed from a CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso, selecting minimal install in Anaconda. After the install, the wireless interface shows up unmanaged by NetworkManager. Before, I thought this could be due to using the minimal install media. ?[root at localhost ~]# nmcli d DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION p4p1 ethernet connected p4p1 lo loopback unmanaged -- wlp1s0 wifi unmanaged -- After installing the same way in Centos7, the wireless card is automaticaly managed by NetworkManager as far as I can tell. lspci shows the right kernel module so this is not a driver issue. I use the same wifi cards in all the machines. I'm sure there are ways to make this work without NetworkManager, but I would like to have my users just click on the nm icon and select a wireless network. Can anyone shed some light on this? Many thanks.
