Having to unplug & replug Wifi adapter everytime I boot into Ubuntu












1















I have a brand new Desktop that I have a dual booted between Windows and Ubuntu. Every time I boot into Ubuntu, it says no Wifi adapter found even though I have my USB wifi adapter plugged in. I have to unplug it and replug it for Ubuntu to detect it.



I don't face the same issue in Windows.



Edit: Wireless-info outputs.



Before unplugging the adapter: https://pastebin.com/V0hg8mv8



After plugging the adapter back in: https://pastebin.com/agdppKyc

  • Assuming you have a recent version of Ubuntu, journalctl --follow /usr/sbin/NetworkManager while you plug/unplug/plug will show you interesting messages.
