** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #767243 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767243 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584970 Title: Ubuntu tries to set up my USB wireless device on a wired connection Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I start up from a Ubuntu 16.04 Live CD, I do not get a wireless network connection, instead it seems to see my USB device (a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter) as a "wired connection". If I do 'service network-manager restart', or unplug and replug the device, then it sets it up with the rt2800usb driver, gives it a wireless connection, and allows me to connect to wifi routers as normal.
