MX-17 Beta 3 Feedback

Realtek Wifi usb dongle not working
I have this setup:

inxi -n
Network: Card-1: Intel Ethernet Connection I217-V driver: e1000e
IF: eth0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 9480:ba:3f:7e
Card-2: Realtek RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter driver: r8712u
IF: wlan0 state: N/A mac: N/A

After booting WIFI won' t work out of the box I had to edit
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and add the following lines:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

After reboot/restart service it works as expected.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.

is that something that can be by default?

[Jerry3904]

I took a note about it b/c I had the same question. Kent hasn't been on the Forum for quite a while, but probably knows best.

a review/walkthrough, titled "MX Linux 17: the third beta version clicked through"
(like, a paragraph, plus 5 screenshots)

I read that and thanked him für den schnellen Durchblick when he tweeted a link to @MX_Linux.

Pretty weak complaint IMO, since there is the Help button...

Impressive. Very good first impression. Running live on an old beater hand-me-down I just got. Vista would barely pull itself; MX is spunky, and thats running from a DVD. Maybe I'll finally update from my old M11...

We'd be glad to have you back in the thick of things.

Be careful what you ask for... my reputation precedes me.
