Hi! I recently added a rtl8818eu usb wifi adapter an a new c2d build. This driver is shipped out of the box with fedora 34. And it was detected automatically by the gui. But when I type in the password for any network shown (only some are shown), it loads, gives an error and shows me the input boxes for password again. This goes on like a loop.
Please share your knowledge and help me get this working. Consider me as a fresher to Linux.
So, the first thing I’d do is (if you can get connected another way!) is to upgrade to F35. The newer kernel and possible firmware updates might just fix the problem.
These docs are for RHEL 8:
but include some helpful instructions for debugging situations like this. It requires dropping to the command line and using nmcli, a tool which interacts with the same service as the GUI does, behind the scenes. Are you comfortable with that?
If so, in short:
sudo nmcli general logging level DEBUG domains WIFI
and enter your password, and then
journalctl -u NetworkManager -f
to follow the log, or
journalctl -u NetworkManager -b
to see all networking log messages since you last booted.
Yep! It’s officially released this coming Tuesday 2021-11-02T14:00:00Z, but what you get if you follow the upgrade procedure now is exactly what will be released. You’ll need to follow the command-line process from:
Hi matthew,
Update: System upgraded to F35. In the settings application, the wifi option is invisible now, on opening it from search, No Wifi Adapter is found.
Update: I dunno what happened this time. Left the pc on for a while and now the error before the upgrade still shows up. (Wifi adapter is now detected)
