I know these are expensive, but this is what it's like doing hardware. :) Matt Dillon @ DragonflyBSD bought me the Asus zenbook so I could fix the wifi there, and that's why the zenbook works great now. -adrian On 6 June 2015 at 08:29, Miguel Clara wrote: > This the same card I have on a Acer S3 391 (which would be much > cheaper for you Adrian, in case anyone wants to buy you one with this > cards sadly I don't have the money) > > Anyway I see this issue but not always and there was a time where it > worked fine, (I've mailled about this before, and I'm not sure if > there's a PR) list scan seems to work but list only a few networks > (but I guess this means at some point scan got some results) > Also, If you know the netwroks detail you can at least add them to > wpa_supplicant.conf and it works fine for both 2.4 and 5Ghtz. > > > Melhores Cumprimentos // Best Regards > ----------------------------------------------- > Miguel Clara > IT - Sys Admin & Developer > > > On Sat, Jun 6, 2015 at 4:18 PM, Adrian Chadd wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm sorry - it's likely something silly like rfkill, but I'd have to >> fiddle around with the laptop to make it work.
