The good in console is that you see error message and
know you have to do something. I /etc/netstart rsu0.
In graphics it is no longer possible.
My bet is that my laptop was too hot in the time I was
posting. Also, other people do complain about issue. I
made "ifconfig rsu0 debug" and got a lot of data. I have
seen it regurarly connecting to the router and having
handshake. After that it was not able to get rid of
those messages. I had to reboot the node.
I think I/we have two possibilities. First is to ask
Mr Bergamini or someone else to redo the code for rsu.
Second one is to buy another dongle.
Taking this seriously, what good usb dongle would be at
the moment? The one that works with 5.2 and might be found
on the current market.
Best regards all
Zoran
