Re: No wifi connection
I think
I am using TP-Link TL-WDN5200 drverliess version which has a similar behaviour
What does print afterward?
is a storage device buildin with the wifi dongle, and you probably needs usb_modeswitch to switch it into wifi modeBus 003 Device 004: ID 0bda:1a2b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
