What happened?

Hi, first of all, thank you for creating this driver!

I’ve encountered an issue and I’m unsure if it’s related to the driver or a GNOME setting. When attempting to switch networks or connect/reconnect to a network that requires a sign-in but no password, it doesn’t seem to work as expected.

Here’s my system info:

OS: Fedora 41
Kernel: 6.11
GNOME Control Center Version: 47.2
GNOME Shell: 47.1

Hi @Timfedora

When attempting to switch networks or connect/reconnect to a network that requires a sign-in but no password, it doesn’t seem to work as expected.

I sometimes run into this situation with my laptop. I connect and then when I try to go to a site with my browser, a sign on page pops up and I do what they want and I go about my business. This problem doesn't really have anything to do with this driver unless I am missing something. You may think you are not connected but have you tried to go to a site?

FYI: A nice standards compliant in kernel driver just went into kernel 6.13 for your adapter. I'd say you can count on it working at full speed by kernel 6.14 so you have something to look forward to.

By the way, the Main Menu of this site is:

Hi,
I’ve figured out the hotspot login issue by entering neverssl.co, and that seems to have resolved it. However, I’m still experiencing issues with switching networks. I suspect this might be a problem with GNOME settings, as nmcli works fine without any issues.

Thanks for your help!

That’s nice! I actually found my card in an old TV, soldered on a USB cable, and now I use it to get better reception when I’m in the car.

That is really cool. I like to recycle things.
