Hi,
Following compiling the kernel driver for an rtl8814au chipset to
get networking working on my DWA-192 usb wifi adapter, I have found that
if I configure Networkmanager to use the 5Ghz channel and set the option
"Automatically connect when available" which sets "ONBOOT=yes" in the
corresponding /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg file, Networkmanager
does not activate the network at boot time, so mounts of network drives
fail, and the network is not available until I start up either Gnome or
KDE, in which case both use the 5Ghz channel.
If however is set the option "Automatically connect when avaiable"
in Networkmanager in the 2.4Ghz definition then Networkmanager makes the
network available at boot time and mounts of network drives work, and
correspondingly when I start Gnome or KDE they use the 2.4Ghz channel.
Is this a defect in Networkmanager not checking both definitions to
verify if ONBOOT=yes is set in either or is it an issue with the
compiled driver not doing things properly?
I am using this environment with kernel 4.9.6.
regards,
Steve
