Re: Help with TL-WN823N on Fedora

One factor that makes dnf difficult when poor network communication
causes downloads to time out is whatever partial file data has been read
is discarded.  Dnf starts a new download for the failed file from a
different server.  If that new download times out, whatever has been
received is discarded again, and this repeats -- until the download
succeeds, or all mirrors have been tried, in which case dnf fails.

Fortunately, whatever files have been successfully downloaded remain in
local storage after "dnf upgrade" fails.  Repeat the dnf command, and
only the missing files (unfortunately, these are usually large files,
because they are more likely to time out) will be read again.

My problems with this were fixed with a different wi-fi access point.  A
new wi-fi dongle for your computer may be easier than waiting for better
support of the device you have.  TL-WN823N is almost a decade old; if it
does not work well after this time, it is difficult to think all will be
well in a short while.
