Hello.
Can anyone provide insight
as to why my usb wifi Netgear WNDA4100
(rt3573) won't connect or show up in NetworkManager(applet)
but will be managed normally with the Wicd Network
Manager? This is a brand new,
clean install of Stretch and it doesn't appear to matter whether
both management progs are operating at the same
time or separately. Wicd
always works and NetworkManager won't. I
liked the control I had with NM working with v8 but
no such luck with v9.
Any suggestions on what
to look for that may be keeping this
interface hidden? Show up
normally but not connected with
ifconfig/iwconfig.
thanks,
tony
I don't know what update caused this, I have been running stretch for a while, but a couple of days ago I logged in a debian
installation and wifi was off. Connman could not get any action. When I used wicd the wifi was turned off, even though right before the last shutdown it was connected and I did nothing to any related settings. I turned it on and everything worked again.
I wouldn't have made a big deal about it till I read this message.
