When you do "lsmod | grep rt2800", do you see that? If it's not there, then modprobe it. If it is, how are you managing your nyetwork on this machine? Lots of distros use "Network Manager", which is a giant PITA, but is "friendly", whatever that means. Go into your nyetwork manager and configure it so that it knows what ESSID to connect to and what the password is. Alternatively, make sure that you've got wpa_supplicant installed and just add the configuration info to wpa_supplicant.conf and restart wpa_supplicant . Also, UNCLAIMED is not necessarily a bad thing. If I do lshw here, I see that a camera I have plugged in is UNCLAIMED. This is because it's a PTP digital camera, so it is claimed by no kernel module, but it is supported in userspace with gtkam/libusb. Your network card should probably not be like that though. -- Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress There is no Darkness in Eternity But only Light too dim for us to see. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Wifi Adapter Not Recognized
Hi All, I'm having a bear of a time getting my wireless card to work in a Linux Mint 20.1 machine. The machine is my old dev box that I want to re-purpose and requires wireless connectivity to my network (it's in an area were hard line isn't available). This machine dual boots to Windows 10 and all hardware works fine in Windows. The wireless adapter connects to my network quickly and without issue. When I boot Linux it looks to me like it's not able to find the card. This card is a few years old, so it's not so new that there shouldn't be drivers for it in the kernel. I did connect the computer via Ethernet cable today and did all system updates, but still the wifi card doesn't work. As a side note, I've tried several USB Wifi adapters and none of them work in Linux, but all work just fine when I boot Windows. The hardware is a PCIe wireless adapter ASUS_PCE-N53. Below is the output from lshw -C network. What does "network UNCLAIMED" mean? Any help would be most appreciated.

Re: Thanks for your help when I ran out of room
h. Well, the Seagate 10 TB drive I have is 3 years old and still chugging. However, windows won’t see it and only OS X and Linux will even do anything with it. However, given recent experiences with other “brand name” drives, I am starting to think that perhaps having a number of USB flash drives set to write once and read many will probably be much more appropriate for long term storage. The nice thing about USB sticks is that they will work with virtually any OS or device that supports them and won’t require anything other than power supplied by the USB port. -Eric From the central offices of the Technomage Guild, Storage Solutions Dept. > On Apr 21, 2021, at 1:46 PM, Steve Litt via PLUG-discuss > wrote: > > Michael via PLUG-discuss said on Wed, 21 Apr 2021 16:36:47 -0400 > >> Wonderful!

Re: Thanks for your help when I ran out of room
I find vendors sell their defective garbage drives mostly as "external drives" as they only offer a year warranty, and most any external enclosure/drive ala costco always died just after a year. Almost like they knew. NOT recommended, any of them. Do yourself a favor, buy a decent drive with a warranty, and get an external enclosure yourself to put it in yourself. I'm not even sure what is good for spinners these days, but check backblaze drive review assessments. I tend to stay with HGST/Hitachi, even though they are owned by Western Digital these days, they still tend to suck less. I've only lost one HGST drive in the past 5 years or so from my synology raid. https://www.backblaze.com/blog/backblaze-hard-drive-stats-for-2020/ -mb On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 1:37 PM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > Wonderful!
