Reliable USB WiFi?

From your screen dump, what is the name of the network you wish to connect to? When you click on it, odes it give you an option to enter the passcode?

In a previous dmesg dump tecno's wifi dongle tried to connect.....I did a quick search about that issue and it appears there maybe an issue with the length of the interface name & firmware. The fix I mentioned will revert back to the ethx & wlanx naming convention. I use the same options as it's easier to remember which port is eth0 rather than an name that is part driver-part mac or some formula that divides by your grandmother's maiden name.

Got 2 and both work OK when accessing via mobile phone - laptop so I have passwords OK.

Have you tried the GRUB fix yet ?

Never heard of, so please enlighten me.

Sorry missed that totally with so many messages in rapid.

Will take a brake and have lunch and read on that topic.
Thank you for your kind help that is really appreciated.

OK......

You really need to state the command you were trying to execute, a error msg has no meaning without context.

Usually the file is /boot/grub/menu.lst not boot/grub/menu.lst

If you are trying to edit that file you will have to do it as the superuser: ie precede the command with sudo

eg: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

vi can be replace by your favourite editor

Here is an article on temporarily editing the grub boot options.

But please precede any error msgs with the command you trying to execute. Otherwise there is no way of knowing what is producing the error message.

BTW the USB -->Ethernet dongle I use on many linux/LinuxCNC systems without issue
is on based on the Asix AX88179 chip
