Hi There, I have a Tenda W322U v2.0 USB Wifi adaptor which worked just fine on an old Edubuntu OS have been running for years. How having upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Now of course the wifi is dead. I get the following: lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072 Wireless Adapter

I managed to get the light to go on, on the stick itself by command: sudo ip link set dev wlxc83a35cf5510 up ip link

On the UI, the 'USB Wifi Off' remains so no matter how I try to turn it on via UI. Also: sudo dkms status rtl8192eu, 1.0, 5.8.0-43-generic, x86_64: installed uname -r 5.8.0-43-generic lsmod Module Size Used by rt2800usb 32768 0 rt2x00usb 24576 1 rt2800usb rt2800lib 131072 1 rt2800usb rt2x00lib 65536 3 rt2800usb,rt2x00usb,rt2800lib dmesg | grep wlxc83a35cf5510 [ 743.635390] rt2800usb 2-2:1.0 wlxc83a35cf5510: renamed from wlan0 Please help! ;-)
