With the device continually resetting plugged into the usb port I

to a third usb port which then enabled the device to function again
under Windows, but now when I boot into Fedora the wifi connection is
now connecting and disconnecting continually again.
That's sounds horribly like a badly designed device that relies on its
Windows driver to fix bugs in it.
It could be but Netgear says the device works under Linux and Mac but
I'm yet to find documentation on how.
What I don't know at the moment is I have both ethernet and wifi
active and I am using ethernet for my network connection (just on
that front I thought for the network definitions if one specified a
priority of 0 and one specified a priority of 10 the definition with
the priority of 0 is the one that is used first, is that correct? I'm
just asking because it seems to be the other way around).
Priorities in these configuration areas (like which network to activate
when it automatically picks one out of several options) run positive to
negative. Largest positive value wins.
Thankyou. I wasn't sure whether it was that or not. At the moment the
device isn't being activated even though it is visible in lsusb since I
have configured NetworkManager to use IWD as it's back end, even though
I've found net articles that suggest for other linux distributions to
work around wpa_supplicant authorisation timeouts to use IWD as the
NetworkManager backend. So I've got to do some more research to figure
out how to configure IWD.
