Qualcomm Atheros Wireless Network Adapter 64 bits I already installed the firmware, and it worked, both in xfce and in the TDE desktops. Then after a few reboots (during which I neither installed nor removed anything), it suddenly stops, and all the network icons say network is disabled. sudo lshw -C network yields this: *-network DISABLED sudo rfkill unblock wlan (in any combination) seems to do nothing. I made little changes to the file: /etc/network/interfaces which accomplished nothing, so I restored the original configuration, and still nothing. > Is > wpa_supplicant installed, or are you genuinely trying to configure > everything via wireless_tools (iw*)? > > E. Liddell I never did manage to get wpa_supplicant to work right. Usually I can depend on wicd-gtk, if nothing else, but it seems that it won't work any more in chimaera/bullseye (although I found it in the sid repositories). So I purged wicd, and still nothing. I tried restarting networking, network-manager, etc. On Beowulf/Buster, I had problems with the tdenetworkmanager. I would actually prefer to stick with TDE, but it seems to prefer systemd. I believe it was yourself who suggested that I could use elogd (is that the name?) and do without systemd. I thought that I would give Debian and systemd a try, since I have a much more up-to-date machine to work with, but it was a still a pain in the seat of my behind to get Debian to work (as I forget about those non-free packages). The thing is, I have a fairly limited period of time to get this working right, so that I can make a few trips. If I can at least get Devuan working, then later I can try out Debian and systemd on top of that working configuration.
