no wireless any more on Fedora 23 ?
 
I used xfce, everything was fine.
But no more wireless after installing @gnome-desktop and removing @xfce-desktop.
Things about wireless has gone on gnome panel. In setting > network, no wireless as well.

It seems I have module drivers:
ip link says:
Code:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: wlp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 54:35:30:5d:2c:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp0s20u2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 02:52:01:52:66:35 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

and I can connect to any wireless using wpa_supplicant manually. Eg:
Code:

# wpa_supplicant -B -iwlp1s0 -c/home/msh/essid.conf
# dhclient wlp1s0

it works.

My network manager's status is:
Code:

[msh@localhost ~]$ sudo systemctl status NetworkManager
[sudo] password for msh:

Maybe...this helps?

thanks for reply.
It is actually because NetworkManager-wifi is needed.

I installed @gnome-desktop in xfce4 running. Wifi was working then.
But wifi didn't work any more after removing @xfce4-desktop in Gnome running.

I don't know whether @gnome-desktop didn't pull NetworkManager-wifi or @xfce4-desktop removed NetworkManager-wifi.

whatever, now, I installed NetworkManager-wifi and network-manager-applet.
Now it works back.
thanks.....

Glad it worked out...and for you posting the solution too :)

You also can install the NetworkManager-tui package and use the command-line nmtui to manipulate network manager. I like having this available in case the NM applet quits for some gui reason.

Totally agreed on that. Have had to fall back on nmtui many a time when I did something stupid.
