I think I have worked out the issue with the flashing light on the
device, it seems to be functioning the same way as the flashing lights
on ethernet pci cards, which from the functionality of the vendor
supplied driver under windows, is not the vendor intended mode of operation.
"wireless" and "wired" modus operandi differs.
I only meant that with ethernet pci cards there was a blue light on the
device that used to flash intermittently as an indication they were
polling, and flash rapidly when there was data transfers being done,
and, with this compiled driver the light on the device seems to be
functioning the same way, under windows with the vendor supplied driver
the light is permanently on irrespective of what it is doing and only
goes out when connection to the network is lost.
I now have two issues with the device, one is dkms and the other is
standard networking functionality.
DKMS - I tested it and works as expected.
The DKMS issue I was querying was caused by the issue I had, that when I
had set up the DKMS interface, I also did a system upgrade which
installed the 4.9.6 kernel, and when I booted off that kernel DKMS did
not compile the driver, I had to do it manually through DKMS.
"standard networking functionality" i.e. how to properly configure network stuck in user space, is off-topic here.
Would you mind open another thread, and discuss about it there.
What I meant by standard networking functionality, was that at boot time
the ethernet interface (if set to be automatically connect to in
Networkmanager) provides network access during boot so that the network
mounts work, but with the driver for this wifi device compiled and
working in the kernel, the network is not available during boot until I
start up kde and reply to the kwallet password prompt so that the wpa
key can be retrieved.
But having said this I can start another thread.
regards,
Steve
