Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I recently did a fresh upgrade from Debian 9 Stable to Debian 10 Stable. On
Debian 9, my usb wifi (D-Link System DWA-140 RangeBooster N Adapter(rev.B1)
[Ralink RT2870]) worked fine after installing firmware-misc-nonfree. However,
on Debian 10 it can no longer make a connection to my wifi router. The system
log reports that authentication and associated are successful, but the
connection attempt times out report 'ip-config-unavailable'.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Package firmware-misc-nonfree was installed.
I amended /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to add the lines:
[device]
scan-rand-mac-address=no
* What was the outcome of this action?
The above actions did not solve the problem - the same error message
occurred.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
