Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
Lads
Hope your all good.
I am having and issue connecting to secured WiFi networks in Mint 18.3 XFCE .
I was running the latest kernel 4.15.0-34 I downgraded to 4.15.0-20 no change.
I can connect to open networks no issue.
Any Ideas?

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
See https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php ... st13614520 and make changes. I know Atheros wifi devices do not like WEP/TKIP encryption
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
Thanks for the reply.
I don't think that's the issue with that the 2 networks I tried were WP2/WPA and it seems to time out rather then connect.
I disabled the security and it connected no issue.
Could it be a user group I need to be added to, if so which?

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
It could be the wifi power management, the first command in the link will stop that after rebooting
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
I've tried that editing that file but all that's in it are the lines
/etc/NetworkManager.conf
'[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
dns=dnsmasq
[ifupdown]
managed=false'
the WiFi power save settings are in another file
and that's just set to
'[connection]
wifi.powersave = 3'
I tried changing that value to 2/1 but no change

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
I tried that no good still behaves the same
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
Go into Network Manager settings for the connection and set IPv6 to ignore/off
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
That worked,
But I can only do this for networks I previously connected to that were open
I can disable IpV6 ON WIFI connections totally?

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
You could do
Scroll down to the line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= and add
Most users would likely have
Save, exit the editor and do
Code: Select all
gksu xed /etc/default/grub
ipv6.disable=1
inside the quotesMost users would likely have
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash ipv6.disable=1"
Save, exit the editor and do
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
I did what you advised but there is still some networks it won't connect to
one is a Cisco modem transmitting 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ on the same SSID.
Any other suggestions?

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
If the Cisco transmitting on 2.4 and 5 GHz is on AC mode, the wireless card you have may not be able to connect as it isn't capable

The thing is it connected to it before and now the Ethernet has stopped working

Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
You didn't have eth0, you had enp1s0 for ethernet interface. Did you happen to do a kernel update?
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 wifi issue
I did through the update manager the latest 4.15.0-38
