Title:
Ubuntu tries to set up my USB wireless device on a wired connection
Status in NetworkManager:
Unknown
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When I start up from a Ubuntu 16.04 Live CD, I do not get a wireless
network connection, instead it seems to see my USB device (a Belkin
F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter) as a "wired connection".
If I do 'service network-manager restart', or unplug and replug the
device, then it sets it up with the rt2800usb driver, gives it a
wireless connection, and allows me to connect to wifi routers as
normal.
A potentially similar issue has been reported with a GB-WB867D-I card
at http://askubuntu.com/questions/758422/ubuntu-16-04-seeing-my-
wireless-card-as-wired
