Greetings from a newbie linuxer. Well done to all working on LMDE, loving it!
However, please could you help me with my connectivity issues. I am constantly getting irritating pop-ups for authentication requests required by my wireless network. I am using LMDE-32 bit 201204 Cinnamon, installed on an external hard disk. I've done a lot of searching but can't seem to find the solution...
For some weird reason, I have two wifis listed: (Is this normal??)
wlan0: Ralink Corp. RT2790 Wireless 802.11n 1T/2R PCIe
wlan1: Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN
wlan0 appears to be causing all the annoying requests, wlan1 seems to be okay. These pop-up requests are regular and constant!
As you can see from the lsusb output (extract) below, I use a D-Link DWL-G122:
Code: Select all
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless Adapter(rev.C1) [Ralink RT2571W]
Could someone please advise me on what to do to:
1. Stop the infinite pop-ups for passwords etc relating to my wifi connection. It is driving me mad!
2. Simplify my wifi to have just one - i see no reason to have two, however I can't erase either of them using the network manager!
3. Get a correct signal % to show on wifi and/or conky!
Thanks in advance!
Christopher
p.s. Here is output using sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintWifi/mintWifi.py, if it helps...........
