[Solved] No WiFi connection possible

Post by DanielR »

I tried to load the LMDE3 Live Session on a HP 8760w notebook with some problems and finally got it to work. However, the WiFi will not connect. I tried the workaround with disabling the random MAC in NetworkManager but could not get the wireles to connect to my network. Just out of curiosity, I booted the LMDE2 Live Session and configured my WiFi. It connects to my network without issues. So, what is wrong with LMDE3?

Below is the inxi output of the above system running LMDE2:

Update: I tried another run of the Live Session of LMDE3 but this time edited NetworkManager.conf right at the start of the session and configured my wireless connection afterwards. Now I get a stable network connection to my network. I will mark this thread solved for the time being.
