In my experience, you won't get any further than lsusb "seeing" the

How do I determine if it or wifi has been blacklisted? On reflecting on
this issue there is a possibility that I may have manually disabled the
device or wifi, but I have forgotten how.
It'd be done by a file in your /etc/modprobe.d directory. Just
"grep -ri blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/*" to see if it's in there
somewhere.
I've checked /etc/modprobe.d and I don't have a blacklist.conf file, and
the 2 .conf files that are there don't have any blacklist statements in
them.
From your previous message, the fact that ethtool can't find the device
is interesting and it sure looks like it didn't load the firmware. You
might try looking at the journals to see what sort of messages have
"firmware" or "wireless" in them. That might give you a clue.
I've had a look at /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log and the messages below
that appear near the bottom are indicating to me that something is
passing the wrong wpa key at connection time, but I'm not sure where as
I have checked /etc/sysconfg/network-scripts/keys-Linksys07468 and that
file has the correct wpa key for my router.

Can you check the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Linksys07468 file
and verify that the "KEY_MGMT" value matches what your router wants
(probably "WPA-PSK")? You may also need to add "WPA_ALLOW_WPA=yes"
and "WPA_ALLOW_WPA2=yes" to that file if they're not already there.
I've checked the KEY_MGMT value and it matches the entry in the
associated keys file.
I've also added the two WPA_ALLOW keys but they have made no difference
to NM acknowledging that the device can be connected to.
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".
I've cut and pasted the password from the admin page of the router into
the password entry in the definition so it should be okay, assuming
kwallet hasn't scrambled it.
I also have 'WPA & WPA2 Personal' set in the 'Wi-Fi Security' tab.
I can't set the Mode to 'Client' or 'Manager' in the 'Wi-Fi' tab as
neither of those options are offered. The ones I get are
'Infrastructure', 'Ad-hoc' and 'Access Point' and the only one I could
get to work was 'Infrastructure'.
The last time I successfully used the device was 08/10/2016.

Steve

Is the device firmware getting loaded?
Thanks Terry. At the moment I'm not sure. This device used to work
so I am assuming the firmware is being loaded, but at the moment
I'm not sure if the firmware extensions package has been
uninstalled for some reason as part of standard system upgrades.

I am using kde at the moment and I have cut

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.
