Hi I installed qubes on the x220 I bought on Ebay. Now I got the problem that wifi is not connecting. Qubes uses the sys-net VM to for internet connection based on fedora 29. It uses networkmanager for the connections though wpa_supplicant is installed as well. Ethernet works fine with LAN-cable but the issue is that wifi does not connect or disconnects instantly. The Adapter is Centrino Advanced-N 6205. I am able to connect to the wifi using wpa_supplicant + dhclient as explained here https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/ubuntu-server-16-04-wifi-wpa-supplicant
The other qubes cannot use this connection however and I also do not want to use wpa_supplicant but rather NetworkManager. Maybe someone here can help me figure out what is causing NetworkManager refusing to stay connected. I have tried following this suggestion changing the DHCPlient to dhclient https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/networking-connects-then-disconnects-with-14-2-ar9285-4175583671/ and here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager. But however that did not help as well. I don't know if it is because of the qubes environment so the settings differ. I have also put IPv6 settings to ignore and connect only via IPv4 - did not help as well as the other way around. I am able to connect to the wifi when I am "disabling" IPv4 and also putting IPv6 to "ignore" in the networkmanager-settings but however the CPU is used very much and obviously I do not have a working internet connection.
That's part of the output of dmesg:
