Wireless Adapter Issues

[steven....@gmail.com]

Qubes is not detecting my network adapter. It is a panda wireless pau05. The system is detecting it via lsusb, but it is not loading it into the system. Does anyone know how I can fix this and get it running.

Many thanks,

Steve

Do you have a sys-usb VM? In my head, either you make sys-net your USB
VM as well, or if your sys-usb is separate from sys-net, you use qvm-usb
-a to attach the Panda device to sys-net:

Either that, or you attach the entire USB controller that your Panda
device is connected to to sys-net:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices/#finding-the-right-usb-controller

But I don't have much experience with USB network devices.

The module for the driver for that card is called rt2800usb and it is
enabled in both the 4.4 and 4.9 kernels. You can verify that it's loaded
by running lsmod.

I used qvm-pci -a sys-net 00:12.2, and got it going. Thank you very much.
