I've conducted several Google queries to attempt to resolve this issue. Some days-like all of this past week-it doesn't work at all, even after multiple reboots.
Other days I can use a workaround: unplug the dongle, plug it back in, spam sudo iwlist wlan0 scan if I feel like it, and repeat until it works. Some days it works without a hitch ("it works" meaning I can successfully scan for and connect to a WiFi network). The LED glows moderately brightly on a scan, and flashes very brightly when connecting to a network. When I plug in the dongle, its blue light usually flashes a bit. But sometimes, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan returns $ sudo iwlist wlan0 scanĮven though I know I'm in the vicinity of multiple WiFi networks. I've downloaded the 8192cu.ko drivers, installed them, and successfully loaded them and blacklisted rtl8192cu no error messages appear in dmesg -w, and I never have issues with getting the wlan0 interface to appear or getting the 8192cu module to appear in the output of lsmod whenever I plug in my dongle. The PCI device and manufacturer ID of the onboard WiFi, as returned by lspci -nn, is 168c:0041.) I'm aware that the dongle I'm using is highly popular with the Raspberry Pi community. (My onboard WiFi uses the ath10k drivers, which weren't available yet for my kernel last time I checked but they're not updated for my card's device ID last time I checked, so I'm forced to use a dongle for now. I'm running a Debian 8 laptop (Lenovo G50-80, with preloaded Windows replaced) and using a Kootek USB wireless dongle that uses the RTL8188CUS/RTL8192CU chipsets. How can I resolve the issue and allow my computer to consistently return complete results when scanning for WiFi networks?ĮDIT 1: update the reason why I'm not using ath10k My Debian 8 laptop using 8192cu drivers intermittently fails to return any results when scanning for WiFi networks. I've written up a step-by-step guide to what I did. I resolved the issue by switching to the ath10k drivers, which have now published drivers for my card.
