I have an interesting problem. I set up a new Lubuntu (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS) on an older machine (Lenovo T410i).
During the installation (Lubuntu style via simple grafics interfase (I dont know the correct name)), I added the wifi credentials. Now, as I installed the MATE GUI, I have the regular network manager in the task bar. This shows: Wi-fi networks device not ready
Yet, I am connected and can see the traffic on the systems monitor (and write this support request).
The problem: I need to connect to another wifi than the current one, thus I need to be able to change the wifi.
What I have already tried:
restarting the network-manager and using "autoremove" Wifi networks device not ready
replace the QCA6174 folder (do not remember the askubuntu link anymore)
in "Software & Updates" are no "Additional Drivers" listed
rebootet several times
tried to search for wifi-networks via terminal, but the wifi-adapter seems not available.
I expect some driver flaw, but have no idea anymore.
What would you suggest? What information could help?
