I tried an usb WiFi stick and with this it is working.

ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

But it won’t resolve my problem… I don’t want to use a usb stick.

Eh, I did not read the entire thread, but since I’ve in the past been stuggling with an unwilling Wifi card: does the laptop have a key combo to switch the card on/off ? That was my issue at the time.

Hi
It is, since the kernel module is present, can you ensure the rfkill package is installed and run the command as root user;


rfkill

As Knurpht also indicates, could be a key combo, but rfkill should indicate this…

Uhhh…

I tried everything, but didn’t work.
So seems this mediatek card is a bulls**t. >:(
I will replace the wifi card (for an intel card), because this is hell with this driver supporting…

Thanks for everyone for the professional and fast supporting :slight_smile:
