No, I now test my ralink wifi adapter and it is working after replug.
I thought that rtl driver makes my ralink adaptor working but after all I know just my wifi adapter find the networks a little bit later when I replug it and because that I thought it is not working because not showing my networks.
but as I say I test it again and wait some seconds and it shows wifi.
however my main problem( wifi adapter not working normally after reboot) is not fixed yet.

The adapter name changed, try this:

bash -c "nmcli networking off; sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager; sudo ip link set wlp1s0f0u1 down; sleep 1; sudo modprobe -r rt2800usb; sleep 3; sudo modprobe rt2800usb; sleep 1; sudo ip link set wlp1s0f0u1 up; sleep 1; sudo systemctl start NetworkManager; nmcli networking on; sleep 1; nmcli r wifi off; sleep 1; nmcli r wifi on"

Close all open programs first then try this command as well:

bash -c "nmcli networking off; sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager; sudo ip link set wlp1s0f0u1 down; sleep 1; sudo rmmod asus_wmi;  sleep 1; sudo modprobe -r rt2800usb; sleep 3; sudo modprobe rt2800usb; sleep 1; sudo ip link set wlp1s0f0u1 up; sleep 1; sudo systemctl start NetworkManager;   sleep 1; nmcli networking on; sleep 1; nmcli r wifi off; sleep 1; nmcli r wifi on"

I run that code but it says it cant find device

rmmod: ERROR: Module asus_wmi is in use by: eeepc_wmi

how can I fix the last error ?

It is unlikely to make any real difference anyways. I only ran that command on the off chance asus_wmi was interfering in some way.

Edit:


Things to try:

Cold boot, then warm (re)boot, then remove and reinsert the USB WiFi dongle. Does the wifi work after doing this?

Try to use a USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0 (and vice versa).


Are you using a USB hub to power the USB WiFi dongle?

excuse me, what do you mean from cold boot and warm reboot?
No I dont use hub and I pluged my wifi dongle direct to usb port.
About the wifi driver , how can I use ndiswrapper ?
I Install it but how can I use windows driver for linux or how can I work with it to install driver for my wifi dongle.
I think my wifi dongle problem is from kernel or driver problem that doesnt work correctly.

:musical_note:Don’t. Don’t do it. Don’t break my h-e-a-r-t. :musical_note:
(The Band, man) :wink:

It’s been too long; Linux has grown too much. Please please beg, borrow or steal something that does not require that hacky shit. We gave that up a long time ago, really.

Yes, you are correct, this isn’t really a Garuda specific issue. It is likely kernel/driver related, but considering the age of this adapter I doubt this will ever be addressed at this point.

I’m not sure why you would find this hard to understand.

  1. Cold boot.
  2. Once the computer is running initiate a warm boot (reboot).
  3. Once the computer has restarted remove the wifi dongle from the USB port.
  4. Reinsert the wifi dongle into the USB port.

This is simply a test to see if after that sequence you can then run the wifi after a reboot by simply removing/reinserting your adapter. While nowhere near a fix, once you had finished the initial cold boot/reboot, you could then restart anytime and use your wifi by simply reinserting it.

Or as @Bro mentioned, and I myself stated on your other threads, buy another adapter.

Yes I knew the problem isn’t from garuda linux because on other distros I Have this problem too.

Yes ,After I ask you , then I decide to google what is cold boot and warm boot exactly and I do this :
first I shutdown my pc from garuda linux and then turn on pc with the case button .
And wifi is working in this mode as I know( as i said I didnt have problem when I cold boot).
then I restart my pc and go to garuda linux and then again I see my wifi working and it connect to it?!
because I have problem in warm boot and always it is not working as I tested.
just maybe two thing fix the problem.
1- first is the ipv6 disabling
2- and second maybe from mac address random disable

update : I just warm boot now ( for sure about that my wifi adapter problem fix in warm boot ) , and unfortunately it isnt working .
just it works after warm boot in this case I think : you do cold boot then warm boot for 2 or 3 mins after you are in desktop and it is working.
because as I say, now I warm boot after first warm boot and it is not working and I need replug.
after all thanks from your and other member and admins help.
I decide to use my other wifi dongle as it is seem to work good on linux.
excuse me if I ask much question or dont attention to someting.
