Sorry Rick, how do I determine what the device name is? The only
information I have been able to determine is that lsusb shows me that the
usb device is there, and iwconfig says that there are no devices with
wireless extensions, but I don't see a device in that list that I am
expecting (I don't remember exactly what the device name was when it was
being used but I think is started with 'wp').
The only difference between the last time I used the wifi device (which
was probably 6 months ago, I've been using an ethernet 'Home Plug' device)
and now is that I have put on multiple system upgrades for F24, plus at the
moment I don't know whether the issue is NetworkManager, Kernels or
something else.
regards,
Steve
