Hello, I have a "Debian testing" system installed with Mate. It has network-manager 1.22.8-1.
My network adapter is an Asus USB dongle based on rtl8814au, I compiled and installed a kernel module for it and the network works great, once it gets going. My problem is, when I boot the system and it gets to the mate login prompt, the network isn't connected. Then, even after I log in to the Mate desktop, I'm usually asked for the WPA wifi credentials. After trial and error, the best fix is for me to get into a terminal and restart network-manager: # systemctl restart network-manager After one to four times of this, eventually network-manager establishes the network connection. I think this probably has something to do with network-manager not recognizing that the USB dongle is plugged in, even though the kernel module is loaded. What can I do to troubleshoot this problem, potentially filing a bug? Or, maybe this is a problem with the kernel module for the USB adapter? Alan
