I was having frequent wifi disconnects. Turns out I forgot to uninstall wicd which I had installed for testing. It seems to interfere with the rc.inet1 wifi step. After uninstalling not facing the wifi disconnect issue.
dmesg gives some errors about network:
Code:
[ 2770.265098] CFG80211-ERROR) wl_cfg80211_event :
[ 2770.265098] dhd_conf_set_country: set country ALL, revision 0
[ 2770.265114] Event handler is not created
[ 2770.265655] CONFIG-ERROR) dhd_conf_set_bufiovar: country setting failed -2
[ 2770.266153] Country code: US (US/0)
[ 2770.272690] CONFIG-ERROR) dhd_conf_set_intiovar: txbf setting failed -23
To set country code, installed crda and iw packages. After that I am able to set wireless region via wpa_supplicant.conf as well as on command line using iw.
# nmtui
nmtui: error while loading shared libraries: libnewt.so.0.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After installing newt package, am able to connect NetworkManager to Wifi using command line.
In syslog I noticed message about ModemManager failing:
Code:
Jan 18 08:55:33 rock-pi-4 dbus-daemon[709]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' requested by ':1.52' (uid=0 pid=1598 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager ") (using servicehelper)
Jan 18 08:55:33 rock-pi-4 dbus-daemon[709]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127
On testing, found that ModemManager requires the libqmi and libmbim libraries.
Code:
# ModemManager
ModemManager: error while loading shared libraries: libqmi-glib.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# ModemManager
ModemManager: error while loading shared libraries: libmbim-glib.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To connect to networks graphically, I first connect to them via command line using nmtui, and afterwards it works via tray icon too. Will report if I find easier way.
Edit- check #58.
Thanks!

Reason: list series for package
Found issue with Networkmanager graphical tray: it was not able to ask for password and was failing!
Code:
Dec 29 08:00:19 rock-pi-4 dbus-daemon[922]: [session uid=1000 pid=920] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.secrets' requested by ':1.23' (uid=1000 pid=955 comm="nm-applet ")
Dec 29 08:00:19 rock-pi-4 dbus-daemon[922]: [session uid=1000 pid=920] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.secrets' failed: Process org.freedesktop.secrets exited with status 127
On searching, found that a library was missing:
Code:
$ gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets
gnome-keyring-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libcap-ng.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
After installing l/libcap-ng NetworkManager graphical tray worked.
