Hi,
I bought a TP-link TL-WN725N wifi dongle that I plugged into my desktop running fedora 18. Unfortunately it doesn't show in the network manager nor iwconfig and I don't have a clue what to do to fix this.
Here are some relevant info:
p135p1 is my wired NIC so iwconfig doesn't see the dongle as an interface at all.
I tried to plug out/back in the ethernet wire, here is what dmesg said:
Then I did the same with the dongle:
So, from what I gather, the r8169 module is used for the wired connection, not for the dongle. I think it should be the right module for the dongle as well and I don't know why it is not used.
Any help would be appreciated.
