  • Of course it would be a Nvidia driver issue.

    Thought about getting a AMD card but as I had only had one major issue with my previous 1070 (that was fixed by reloading my Timeshift snapshot then not upgrading the driver until the next version) so I thought that I would continue with Nvidia.

    Eh, I can’t change it for now but at least I know what is causing it and can work around it.

    Thanks for the assist.







  • I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.

    If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.


  • Three things,

    • Have you tried using a newer kernel?
    • You should be able to use a USB tethering to use your phone for internet.
    • I really despise USB & PCIE WiFi adapters as they cause so many issues. If your computer has an ethernet port then you are better off getting an WiFi access point that has Wi-Fi bridge mode, you can connect your computer to it using an ethernet cable then connect the access point to the WiFi. Your computer only sees the ethernet connection so no additional drivers, settings or futzing around needed.
