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?
Are other Linux users able to "see" it? The LHDB should tell you if
it works for others and what module/driver they use. The product
literature should give you the USB vendor and product ID's which makes
it easy to search the LHDB.
Did you purchase from a reputable vendor? Maybe counterfitters have
moved from SSD's to WiFi dongles.

I'll need to do some more checking but I may have found the issue with
the dongle not being used and continually connecting and disconnecting.
I re-checked the wifi definition in networkmanager and for some reason
the definition had the wifi password in uppercase even though I believe
I didn't input it that way.
