Greetings All,
I recently bought a Wifi USB adapter (ProCIV) that advertised that it was Linux compatible.
Unfortunately, getting it to work in Suse does NOT appear to be a trivial task.
In order to get the device to work at all, I had to download, compile and install a driver from GIT (https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au),
as the source supplied with the device driver disk would NOT compile.
The device does NOT appear to play well with NetworkManager.
Before NetworkManager will recognize it, I first have to switch to ‘Wicked’ networking, then switch back to NetworkManager.
If the device is unplugged, or the system restarted, this procedure needs to be repeated.
Any idea what is missing?
The device chipset is reported to be an RTL8812AU.
When the device is plugged in journalctl output is as follows
