Therefor the password isn't the issue. And, as it works under Windows,
it's not hardware.
First try "ethtool -i <name-of-device>" to see what driver is loaded
(if any). If you get data back then try "iwlist wlan0 scan" (replace
"wlan0" with your device) to see what access points are in the area.
If all that works, then the wireless itself is working under Linux and
there's something odd about the way NetworkManager (NM) and your device
talk to each other. At that point you could try to disable NM and use
the wpa_supplicant programs directly to try to get it up (such as
running wpa_supplicant in the background and using something like
wpa_supplicant_gui to manipulate it). If you're successful there, then
try to get NM to talk nice or bugzilla it to the NM list.
Sorry Rick, how do I determine what the device name is? The only
information I have been able to determine is that lsusb shows me that
the usb device is there, and iwconfig says that there are no devices
with wireless extensions, but I don't see a device in that list that I
am expecting (I don't remember exactly what the device name was when it
was being used but I think is started with 'wp').
The only difference between the last time I used the wifi device (which
was probably 6 months ago, I've been using an ethernet 'Home Plug'
device) and now is that I have put on multiple system upgrades for F24,
plus at the moment I don't know whether the issue is NetworkManager,
Kernels or something else.
regards,
Steve
