Can't search wifi networks from NM after "disable WLANs"

Gugur · 02-20-2021, 09:38 AM

Hello.

I have a problem with Alfa awus036neh (ralink3070), I use official driver from firmware-misc-nonfree.

It is work perfectly until I disable WLAN from network manager (Disable all WLAN networks) and after reactive, awus036neh not detect Wi-fi networks.

#dmesg after disable ALL WLAN netowrks:

Code:

Posdate: I am using Debian testing and xfce4
Posdate1: In kali linux I have no one problem about disable WLAN networks and reactive them

Thanks you.

my thoughts.. (assuming you want to keep debian)
look at the version difference of the modules in kali and debian?
then upgrade downgrade to the working one?

Exactly, the kernel in use in Kali, albeit being based and rolling, was just upgraded to 5.10 last 24 February.

Make sure the wifi-stick is well connected usb port (and directly) or change it if needed, and you might want to set the network manually and use Network Manager for that.
