Tell me you haven't used Linux in the past ~20 years without telling me you haven't used Linux in the past ~20 years

Tell me you haven't used more than 2 or 3 pieces of hardware in the past 20 years without telling me you haven't used more than 2 or 3 pieces of hardware in the past 20 years.

I thought you thought about WiFi drivers because of the extra difficulty on not being able to search online, but I see now that this is just based on real experiences

At least my notebook doesn't support the newer wifi standards, that I would need at the university eduroam network.

I always have to hook up my phone and use usb-tethering

WPA3?

[–] Mr3Sepz@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't remember if it was WPA 3 or WPA 2 Enterprise.

[–] 0x4E4F@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If the card supports at least WPA2, it should support WPA2 Enterprise as well. Only cards manufactured in the last few years support WPA3. I doubt they would enforce WPA3 only.

Recently it started working, but only sometimes and for about 5 min's and I can't reproduce it at all.

Tried installing firmware packages?

My Intel Wireless AC 7265 on my Sony VAIO begs to differ. Certainly not brand-spanking new but it's AFAIK less than 10 years old. The speed would at some point drop under Void Linux.
