SUMMARY
First of all, sorry if this is not the right category for this bug.

Wifi on my laptop stops working when the lid is closed. This is the case when I connect it to a docking station. With Plasma 5.x I had no issues. With Plasma 6 RC2, first the network is disconnected, then no wifi shows up in the network panel.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to wifi
2. Connect laptop to docking station
3. Keep lid open
4. Close lid

OBSERVED RESULT
Wifi works just fine with lid open, but it disconnects the moment the lid is closed. Opening the lid again fixes the issue, even if screen is disabled and only external screen is used.

EXPECTED RESULT
Closing lid should not affect network at all.

Can't reproduce on arch, git source build, wayland. Wifi continues working when I close the laptop lid. Maybe you have some custom ACPI configurations?

Closing because it is not a bug. I was so unlucky that when I was testing the RC 2 the access point(s) in the office were down so I was connected to a farther AP and whenever I closed the lid the signal was even worse and that's the reason I was getting disconnected. Couldn't replicate the issue at home and today at the office AP close to my spot was working again. Sorry for the noise.
