D-link Nano Wireless adapter in Mageia 7 (Solved)
Posted: Jan 11th, '19, 17:25
I could not get this device working in Mageia 6, because of a problem when compiling the driver.
This issue is solved in Mageia 6, but I got an even stranger problem now.
When I try to make a wifi connection with it in MCC- network manager, my wifi router is listed allright, I can enter the connection parameters, but then making the connection just fails.
Looking for info how to handle from the CLI, I found some info, so I did:
# ifconfig wlp0s29f7u4 up
That went OK
# iwlist wlp0s29f7u4 scan
Shows 25 possible connections, but my router is not listed in it (I am sure it shows up each and every time in MCC network manager)
So quite consistently I cannot make the connection with iwconfig, I get "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): Set failed on device wlp0s29f7u4 ; Invalid argument.
Any help????
