Re: wireless not working in strech

OK, I've no resorted back to using /etc/network/interfaces and it's working.

   Here's what I did:
   ***1)
dmesg | grep wlx    ## show the name of the wlan interface    ## it is
usually called something like wlx008733553e50

   This will show something like r8712u 1-2:1.0 wlx008733553e50:
renamed from wlan0
   That note of the name wlx008733553e50

   ***2)
   Then edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to the following
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

   ***3)
   Obtain hash_of_the_password_of_your_wireless_accesspoint with this command:
wpa_passphrase name_of_your_wireless_access_point
#enter_password_of_you_wireless_access_point_and_hit_enter

   ***4)
   Then edit /etc/network/interfaces to the following:
   ## remember that wlx008733553e50 was obtained
auto wlx008733553e50
iface wlx008733553e50 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid name_of_your_wireless_access_point
wpa-psk hash_of_the_password_of_your_wireless_accesspoint


Does anybody know how to get this working with NetworkManager (in managed mode)?
