I have compiled and installed this. now what?

Open KrychaTech opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

as the title says, i compiled and installed it - upon running sudo ifconfig wlx00e04c818802 up i get an error saying: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted. There is a closed issue refering to that, but there isn't explained what to do to fix it.

How would i go about enabling wifi on my system?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Two things come to mind: 1. ifconfig is deprecated - you should be using iw and friends, and 2. That device name is strange. I would expect something shorter.

Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.txt' and attach file dmesg.txt to this issue.
