It's good to have friends online in situations like this. Yes I am already a member of the group netdev; I was not a member of the dialout group, so added myself to that group, too, just in case it might help. Those other commands are very nifty tools, especially nmtui. Myself, I want to go back to stone tools and live in a cave, and this makes me feel that I am already halfway there. Unfortunately, these did nothing whatsoever to change my network issues. I tried quitting and restarting tdenetworkmanager, tried running as my normal user, then had to go back to running as root, which I don't like, but I still need to do a few things today. Everything has been working just fine. I really don't want to reinstall my system just to correct this issue. Besides, when I booted up the machine with my handy flash drive (with the Devuan installation image), just to check my network connection, it seemed that only about every other time I rebooted that it showed available networks. Mind you, this is the Devuan installation image: sometimes it shows available networks, sometimes no networks at all. I live in an area that is surrounded by hundreds of local networks, and sometimes when I scan for networks, I find so many that they won't all fit on the screen. This makes no sense, for the Devuan installation image not to find networks. Is it possible that some hardware issue is causing my internal wifi antenna not to pick up networks? I also tried an old CCrane wifi antenna that I have kept, which has served me well for maybe twenty years, and still works with other machines; but alas, doesn't even register with this machine.
