Re: WiFi works during install, not after



Brian (and list):

I actually went back to the archive (https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/10/msg00852.html) and I can't locate your first message containing the mysterious "first question".

It also isn't in my mailbox.

Could you perhaps repeat?

I did notice. You are assuming the name of the module is "rtl8723au".
There is no such module in staging - as your modprobe command tells
you. Could we look at your 'lsmod' too?
Except that as I said, locate DOES find a module of that name in staging.
Does it? Module names end in .ko. On jessie:

  brian@desktop:~/unprint$ locate rtl8723au
  /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8723au
  /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-686-pae/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8723au/r8723au.ko

My other question requires only a "yes" or "no" answer. It is possible
any response to yours could open up a world of wonder.
