[SOLVED] MX 17 beta1 issue with ath9k-htc

#1 Post by dr-kart »

Not able to establish wifi connection.
Same as before on alphas: viewtopic.php?p=423321#p423321
And
edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and comment out the line that starts with "prepends" and ends with 127.0.0.1
gives no result.

Please check the status shown by MX Network Assistant, and let us know what you find. A screen capture of the first screen would be helpful.

Actually my wifi hardware works and locates all the wifi networks around. It's just wouldn't connect to one.

looks like a possible issue with your particular atheros card and Network-manager.

There is a post here about a possible work around: https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-f ... issues/132

Can we see the outcome of these commands:

Code: Select all

nmcli radio wifi on ; rfkill list all

Code: Select all

sudo lshw -c network
If your case is solved, edit [Solved] to your initial post title to help other users.
