Re: [SOLVED] Network-manager/Wireless issue on Linux Mint 18 Post by massasauga » Sat Mar 25, 2017 3:07 am Here is what worked for me: 1. Run the following command from a terminal window. /etc/init.d/network-manager force-reload A password dialog box will appear. 2. Type your password. 3. Launch your browser, your email client, your FTP client, or any program that you use that requires internet access. If the above worked, you can also set this up as a simple script that resides in your home directory: !#/bin/bash # This forces your ethernet connection to reconnect to the internet. /etc/init.d/network-manager force-reload Don't forget to make this an executable script after you create it. You can create a desktop launcher for the script with an icon to click on for convenience. It will display a password dialog when it runs. You will need to run the script every time you boot, but I think it will work. It has been working for me. Gregg P.S. I have been trying to figure out how to get this to run automatically when you boot. I think one of the updates changed how the network scripts install at boot time and caused this to break. >> Howell - maybe, look at next approach +--+ Re: [SOLVED] Network-manager/Wireless issue on Linux Mint 18 Post by Ernesto R518 » Wed Mar 07, 2018 5:20 pm I know this is marked as "Solved', but my 2 cents: System: Lenovo IdeaCentre 720-18ASU Desktop Realtek RTL8821AE 02.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon Edition 64-bit. I was having the same issue as you; Wifi would connect, then less than a couple minutes later, quit. Restarting Network Manager did not work.I tried some of the other recommendations here (installing WICD, removing Network Manager), which killed Cinnamon. It was a fresh install, so I reinstalled (I had some other changes to make, anyway) and once back up, did a little more digging. On another forum, I found this, [re : network manager issue in 18.1], and it worked perfectly. "...edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and change dns=dnsmasq to #dns=dnsmasq." sudo /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf There's not much there: [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=false --- changed, saved, and rebooted. I've been on for a couple of hours already, no problems. >> Howell's file doesn't have "dns=dnsmasq" : $ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false +--+ Re: [SOLVED] Network-manager/Wireless issue on Linux Mint 18 Post by careman71 » Sun Nov 19, 2017 8:01 pm I've been pounding my head against this problem since I started using Mint back in May-2017. I'm running 18.1 on a Clevo laptop with discrete NVIDIA graphics and a Realtek wifi adapter. I've consistently experienced network slowdown and dropouts, while showing that I was still connected to the router with a strong signal. Restarting network-manager would sometimes help, but sometimes nothing less than a hard reboot (after removing the battery and power plug) would restore connectivity. When connectivity dropped out, I could reach nothing on the network, including the router IP itself. It's not the router, other devices work perfectly when this issue arises. My solution comes from here: http://seyferseed.ru/en/life-en/ubuntu-realtek-rtl8723ae-driver-fix-slow-wifi-speed-fix.html I found this by googling around using my wifi driver (same as his). It boils down to this: sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723ae sudo modprobe -v rtl8723ae swenc=1 ips=0 fwlps=0 He also includes instructions to add the configuration to modprobe.d so that it will persist after reboot. It's been about 48 hours since I applied these modified params to my wifi driver. I have experienced no dropouts or reduction in bandwidth. Hopefully this will help someone out. I'll update here if I have any further problems. >> Nah, I don't want to try this.. ******************* ******************* 05Aug2020 These weren' used!! - from here to end +-----+ https://blog.abysm.org/2020/03/realtek-802-11ac-usb-wi-fi-linux-driver-installation/ Realtek 802.11ac USB Wi-Fi Linux Driver Installation Posted by Kuan-Yi Li On March 1, 2020 Filed under Technical 4 Comments Driver Information aircrack-ng/rtl8812au – GitHub Developed internally by Realtek, and then patched by open community members.

RTL8812AU driver (chhip used by D-Link and many others) seems to be the core issue https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AC1200_Wireless_Adapters Notes The RTL8812AU driver will not install correctly if the USB adapter is plugged-in before the driver is installed. The RTL8812AU driver may not install correctly unless the kernel configuration enables some of the built-in Realtek wireless drivers (including those in staging) as modules. The RTL8812AU driver must be re-installed after every kernel update, even if the kernel version has not changed. The RTL8812AU driver requires the Linux wireless extensions (wext) driver. The RTL8812AU adapters listed in working devices support hot-plugging. BCM43526 adapters are USB 2.0 and have a 480 Mbit/s maximum data rate, therefore they cannot support the theoretical 867 Mbit/s data rate of 5 GHz channels. Depending on which driver is used, the following install script may have to be edited. # enddoc
