Select a network: No Networks infinite search
Hey folks
1./ I have installed the driver on Ubuntu 18.04 for my Dual Band USB Adapter
$ dkms status
rtl88x2bu, 5.6.1, 4.15.0-74-generic, x86_64: installed
2./ On the top right Ubuntu settings menu, I see
Wi-Fi Not Connected Select Networks Turn Off Wi-Fi Settings
When I choose Select Networks option, the search dialog box reports No Networks and searching infinitely long.
3./ Right after the install, available networks appear and I was even able to authenticate. However, the connection drops after few seconds, and the wifi networks are no more listed in the Select Networks dialog box.
4./ I have repeated install/remove of the driver several times. I observe consistent behaviour.
5./ This adapter was working fine under Ubuntu 16.04. I used 5.3.1 driver.
6./ I have installed 5.3.1 driver on Ubuntu 18.04 and got the same No Networks issue.
7./ The same adapter works as expected in Windows 8.1. Driver installed: 8812BU lan 802.11ac USB NIC.
Eager to provide more diagnostic details. Let me know how can I help to fix the issue.
Have the same. Ubuntu 18.04. rtl88x2bu, 5.6.1, 5.3.0-42-generic, x86_64: installed
