Switched to RTL card - how to remove Broadcom cruft - Re: How to find out which wifi card
I got tired of the Broadcom card. It just acts strangely. It takes a long time to get the wifi connection. A new connection fails the first time (a real pain recently in my travels) and the connection tends to bounce. So I pulled the RTL 802.11/a/b/n card for that hanger queen and am up and running on it. How do I remove the Broadcom cruft. I suspect it is more than just: dnf erase broadcom-wl and remove the /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf Can I 'un-taint' the kernel I am currently running or do I have to wait for the next kernel update and not have the broadcom stuff installed? thanks On 6/28/19 9:21 AM, Robert Moskowitz wrote: On 6/27/19 7:09 PM, Ed Greshko wrote: On 6/28/19 6:10 AM, Robert Moskowitz wrote: I am hoping it is a config problem. If not I have an rtl card that is in an x120e 'hanger queen' that I can use instead. Well, if the rtl card connects fine and the broadcom with the same configuration doesn't then it is unlikely to be a configuration issue. The response to the bug worked: Try telling NetworkManager not to change the MAC address via /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no There goes my MAC privacy! We did a lot in IEEE 802 to add this privacy recommendation. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I will also remove packages which were needed to build those modules if they are no longer needed by other packages. -- Right: I dislike the default color scheme Wrong: What idiot picked the default color scheme ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Just one question on that, is what is specified in the entry a domain that exists anywhere in the email address, or, for this list do I need to specify "lists.fedoraproject.org"? I would do exactly what he said. The GUI on the send options explains itself: When you send a message to an address with one of the domain names listed...

How to request a new package.
Hello, I was trying to install the InventorLoader addon for FreeCAD and it requires three python modules to install. xlrd, xlwt and xlutils xlrd and xlwt are available through DNF, xlutils isn't.
