    Thanks Colenel, you made me fire this respin up to doublecheck something.

    This may not be specific to Connection Manager or the respin itself, but something generic. I’ve done some tweaks on my own here, and for me, I found that there is no need for IPV6 addressing for an average Joe behind a router, with a mere handful of other computers fired up through it from time to time.

    I turned ipv6 off manually in grub. I know connection manager has an option for that, but maybe not messing with a connman at all to turn of ipv6 may help on a slower machine/card, or with intermittent service. Maybe ipv4 will recover gracefully, whereas ipv6 may not. At this distance this is a shot in the dark though.

    In /etc/default/grub I edit as root:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet selinux=0 ipv6.disable=1"

    And then
    update-grub
    and then reboot.

    Maybe try this if ipv4 vs ipv6 isn’t a security or required setup for you.

    A quick update; I found an easy workaround on Chris Titus’s website that enables you to set the priority to Ipv4 over Ipv6. You just have to uncomment one line in a file in /etc;

    https://christitus.com/prioritize-ipv4-over-ipv6-linux/

    I’ve tested it in OpenSUSE Slowroll where it works well. I’ll try it out in other distros later.
