You may also need to add "WPA_ALLOW_WPA=yes" and "WPA_ALLOW_WPA2=yes" to that file if they're not already there. You can also use NM's editor to modify that profile to make sure you have your password set correctly and that you have "WPA & WPA2 Personal" set in the "Wi-Fi Security" tab. And in the "Wi-Fi" tab, make sure you have the mode set to either "Client" or "Managed" (not sure which it'll show up as...on my machines it's "Client"). Do NOT use "Ad-hoc" or "Hotspot". >>>> On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 4:20 PM, Stephen Morris >>>> <samorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:samorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: >>>> >>>> On 18/1/17 6:50 am, Terry Polzin wrote: >>>> >>>> Is the device firmware getting loaded? >>>> >>>> Thanks Terry.
