I can not activate WLAN Wifi USB stick adapter Alfa AWUS036H / GE-RT8187
Posted: Sun May 29, 2022 2:06 pm
Good evening.
I have connected a WLAN Wifi USB stick adapter Alfa AWUS036H / GE-RT8187,
which promises better reception than the antenna built into my laptop.
lsusb detects
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter
But I cannot select the USB stick for reception.
See screenshot 1 to the left of the mouse pointer.
It is considered disabled even though it is considered enabled in the network settings.
See screenshot 2 to the left of the mouse pointer.
Who knows how to do it?
Regards
Karl
