There should be error messages. Start with the dongle unplugged. Open
a couple terminal windows. In one window, run "journalctl
--no-hostname --follow" and then cnnect the WiFI dongle
and in the other window run "modprobe -v mt7925u".
I've issued these commands and I can see NetworkManager trying to
connect and wpa_supplicant trying to activate and connect to device
wlp11s0f3u1 which is what the device was named as, and I can see
wpa_supplicant saying it connected to the device, but after that message
I can see wpa_supplicant continually producing messages "wlp1s0f3u1:
Reject scan trigger since one is already pending".
With the device appearing to be active "modprobe -v mt7925u" continually
produces no output.
Even though "modprobe -v mt7925u" is not producing any output issuing
inxi -Na -E is now showing the entry for the device as using driver
mt7925u, so may be it is now working, I'll have to see how things go.
I'm still using ethernet at the moment with wifi active as well, so I
might switch over to using wifi and see if it stays up.
The only thing I've between yesterday when the device wasn't active is I
did a system update yesterday which updated the kernel to 6.17.4 so I am
now running on that instead of 6.16.10, but I checked the 6.16.10 config
yesterday and it was showing the it had support for the mt7925 chipset,
and the driver and firmware were already installed. From what I've read
support for the chipset was patched into the kernel with kernel 6.7, so
it should have been active in later kernels.
The other thing I did yesterday was turn off random mac address
generation for wifi in the NetworkManager config, which I had also done
earlier as a trial which did nothing relative to the issue.
As I said a bit earlier, now that it seems to be active I'll keep
monitoring it and see if it stops continually connecting and
disconnecting, but irrespective of that thankyou for all your help.
regards,
