GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 767243
Ubuntu 16.04 Live USB tries to set up my USB wireless device on a wired connection

Created attachment 329124 [details] Logs of 'lsusb -v', dmesg, /var/log/syslog, and 'service network-manager status' from before and after restarting network-manager See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1584970 When I start up from a Ubuntu 16.04 Live USB, I do not get a wireless network connection, instead it seems to see my USB device (a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter) as a "wired connection". If I do 'service network-manager restart', or unplug and replug the device, then it sets it up with the rt2800usb driver, gives it a wireless connection, and allows me to connect to wifi routers as normal. A potentially similar issue has been reported with a GB-WB867D-I card at http://askubuntu.com/questions/758422/ubuntu-16-04-seeing-my-wireless-card-as-wired OS: Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit Live CD Kernel 4.4.0-21-generic network-manager-applet (1.1.93-1ubuntu1) xenial Note: in my original Ubuntu bug report I put "Live CD", but have changed this to "Live USB". I cannot actually reproduce it when booting from a CD. I speculate this is either due to the presence of/reliance on a USB flash drive, or because of timing differences. Attached: outputs/copies of 'lsusb -v', dmesg, /var/log/syslog, and 'service network-manager status' from before and after running 'sudo service network-manager restart'.
Hi, this seems a duplicate of bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764803 NetworkManager 1.2.2 already includes a fix for the issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 764803 ***
