Not so far I noticed, that in Parrot 4.7 on my laptop Acer Aspire A3 A315-53G-57XY my wireless adapter Atheros QCA9337 cannot see differrent wireless networks (not all). For example - in coffee shop I do not see wireless network of this coffee shop (but on my phone it is still available) and only see other networks. Same situation at home - I’ve dual-band TP-Link router with 2 networks (one operates on 2.4 GHz, other - on 5GHz frequency). I can see only one, which work on 5GHz frequency. After fresh install and upgrade.
Does anybody have similar issues?
Parrot security 4.7, kernel 5.3.0-3parrot3-amd64
Install - debian standard
Without multiboot
Maybe. this information can be useful:

Check what all is supported by the device, a cursory google search suggests it could be an unsupported channel based the “unsupported HTC service id: 1536” error. I have the same device and it works well (relately) with no problems even though I broke one of the antennas
Check what channel the access point is using and make sure its available or maybe just try changing it anyway(on the AP). I’m assuming the 5GHZ you can see isn’t yours…
Thank you for your reply. It’s quite strange, but after i reinstall firmware-atheros package and then reboot my computer - problem was solved. Now on several networks sometimes when connection is active - I can not use internet after 5-10 minutes after connection was established. But on most networks I have no any issues. I will try to check powersave mode and disable it.
That’s good. Maybe just a software/firmware bug, not much one can do about that but better than an issue with the physical card itself.
As a side note now that I think about it I believe I encountered something similiar a few weeks back which around around the time I first this distro on my current machine where the NIC would driver/firmware would crash and the device would have to receive a reset or power-cycle to come back up again. At the time I thought it had to do with some damage I accidentally caused but now I think it was something else.
But anyway good to see we can put this in the solved pile without too much trouble.
