Can't switch from wifi card to adapter.

Can’t use a WiFi adapter, although internet is connected with my internal WiFi card.

Few days ago the adapter was working fine, and the internal card was not! and now when i want to switch to the external adapter it is not connecting to internet…

I tried commands you can see:

lsusb
`Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04f3:0c5e Elan Microelectronics Corp. ELAN:ARM-M4

inxi -N

Using a realtek USB adapter, you probably need to modeswitch it, have a look at this post, there are several hints and help; (read down page!)

And is probably a blacklisted driver again, your post and a fix last year!

First it was not going in monitor mode. (The adapter) but now, its not even showing. I have solved the monitor mode problem by an article on noob linux here. Do i have to do this again? Deleting and installing the drivers again…

My problem is still there anyone with a solution please?

Did you read that other post linked about Realtek WiFi adapters?

Hey @Fred_Sheehan , sorry for a late response. Was going busy for a while…

I looked at the blacklisted drivers in the post you mentioned. Following is the content:

# wl module from Broadcom conflicts with the following modules:
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist b44
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist ssb

And I dont know which one to comment out?

with lsusb. it shows the usb adapter.

Bus 003 Device 006: ID 2357:010c TP-Link TL-WN722N v2/v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS]

And not in inxi -N

No, I think that it is not that issue… I commented all the lines with blacklist in the file you mentioned in the post (/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-sta-dkms.conf )

Have a read of this;

I did, but when I install these drivers… Adapter wont even work…
