With the dongle being a USB3 device I switched it back to a USB3 port because I hadn't realised that when I moved it to see if the continual connect/disconnect issue changed, which it didn't, but I was expecting to see the wlan* device being renamed to a name like the one you supplied, as I had seen that happening in the journalctl output, but from what I could see that didn't happen in this case, but I have an even bigger problem now, the kernel driver required for the dongle is now erroring at boot time. I raised a mail on this but I can't tell if it made the list as I forgot to CC myself on it so it wasn't echoed back to me and replies I do get echoed back without a CC and as yet there haven't been any responses to the mail if it did make the list. This failure may be because of IWD options I've specified but I don't know.
regards,

In the last couple of days I have upgraded my PC hardware and done a fresh install of F43, which as part of the upgrade I have replaced the wifi dongle with a new version of the same dongle as the original one was actually defective, which might explain why it was continually connecting and disconnecting.

With the new version of the dongle the light in the side lights up, which it didn't with the previous version, but the issue I have now is I can't get wifi under F43 because F43 can't actually see the dongle, unless it is not actually reporting itself as a Netgear device. Under Windows I don't have any issues. The new motherboard does have built-in terminals for a wifi 7 dongle that was supplied with the motherboard but that interface doesn't work even under Windows. The motherboard I am using is an Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero and the dongle is a Netgear Nighthawk A9000.

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get the dongle, as a starting point, actually seen under F43?
