I recently bought an Acer Travel Mate P446-M, installed with the wil6210 wireless adapter for 60 GHz communication. It was working perfectly with the Acer Docking station and the TP-Link AD7200 Talon router, both of which are equipped with 802.11ad.

However I then switched to Ubuntu and installed the wil6210 driver along with the firmware files, 'wil6210.brd' and 'wil6210.fw'. But I am now facing the issue that the Wilocity WiFi Network is always grayed out (showing a disconnected status) and I cannot connect to either my docking station or my router, although I can see their presence.

Any insights as to what I am missing here in order to connect my laptop to my Access points? I have also attached an image of what I mean by "Wilocity WiFi network is always grayed out".

As you can see from the output above, the SSIDs "TP-LINK_8958_60G" and "AcerProDock_11ad_6015" are being detected by the laptop but the status of the "wlp2s0" device is shown to be disconnected. I hope this adds clarity to the question.

I was able to resolve it by disabling the encryption on the router. I am able to connect to the router now. It is fine for my purpose since I do not need encryption.
