Hello,

I don't have the relevant answer to your problem, but I have an answer: remove networkmanager and try with connman.

Ì can't uninstall networkmanager, it takes away my desktop. i have already tried to disable and enable connman, but nothing does not connect me automatically.

NetworkManager needs dbus and udev to work correctly. Check if those services are up and running on your system.

I had this problem and found I had INACTIVE_TIMEOUT set to 1 in /etc/conf.d/NetworkManager.

I changed it to 30 seconds, and it connects within 5 seconds.

I don't know why my timeout was so short, but maybe it's the default in Artix, and could be changed to 10 or something going forward.

I found another hard-coded INACTIVE_TIMEOUT in /etc/init.d/NetworkManager inside the start() function, in a call to rm-online which checks if the network is running. I removed the line checking it was set and rely on the conf.d being set properly.
