I need help with the following problem:
I downloaded ParrotOS 4.7 mate the day before yesterday and installed it on a Thinkpad E495 as a second partition next to Win10.
After installation, my following wifi adapters are recognized directly by ParrotOS 4.7 and also work perfectly:
- Alfa awus036NHA (chipset: Atheros AR9271)
- Ralink RT3070 (maybe an RT3070L, not sure)
- Realtek RTL8812AU
After installation, ParrotOS asks me whether updates should be searched for and installed. As soon as I answer this request and the approx. 1600MB updates have been loaded and installed, none of my wifi adapters will work.
Realtkek RTL8812AU:
- iwconfig: adapter is no longer recognized.
- lsusb: adapter is recognized.
- However, ParrotOS informs me that the current firmware is already installed and does not have to be updated if I want to reinstall it via DKMS.
- if I install the update via aircrack-ng / RTL8812AU via git, make + make install, the adapter is not recognized either.
Ralink RT3070:
- iwconfig: The adapter is not shown as wlan0 or wlan1 as before, but as wlx00c … 6d.
- lsusb: adapter is recognized.
- If I want to connect the adapter to my Fritz! Box 7360 router via WLAN, an attempt is made to establish a connection, but the connection can never be established.
Alfa awus036NHA:
- exactly the same as with the Ralink RT3070
- iwconfig: wlx00c … 20.
- lsusb: adapter is recognized:
- WiFi connection the same problem
Realtek Wireless-AC 8822BE (2x2) (This is the Laptop’s built in Wifi card)
- This adapter doesn’t work after clean install of ParrotOS 4.7 nor after running updates Parrot asks for.
- iwconfig: does not show the adapter at all.
I nearly think about simply not letting ParrotOS carry out updates, because without updates with a fresh installation of Parrot 4.7 everything runs perfectly.
ParrotOS 4.7 security mate fresh install + all new updates installed.
Graphical install through with USB 3.0 Stick
Multiboot with windows 10 pro. Win 10 first installed, Parrot as second partition afterwards.

So far, solutions are just not to run any updates right after ParrotOS 4.7 clean install
