#165098 — wireless not working in strech

After an upgrade, wireless is no longer working in stretch.
(I was using a wireless adapter and needed package: firmware-realtek).

* network-manager does not show wireless

*
  sudo iwconfig
... shows wlx008733553eaa instead of wlan0

*
  dmesg
...shows "renamed from wlan0"

*
issung the command
  sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
changed the name back to "wlan0"

But wireless still does not show in network-manager.

What can one do?
Thanks.

Would you be willing to install Kalilinux?  I installed KaliLinux2.0 on 
a system and was shocked when it not only found my ralink wireless 
adapter but was able to configure it and go out on the network and 
install updates during installation.  You may also have similar luck 
using that version which is now on rolling release policy.  I have never 
had any luck installing wireless devices in command line environment on 
Debian.  One thing though about KaliLinux, it's a graphical user 
interface environment so if you don't like that kind of environment this 
won't be for you.  I'm agnostic about graphical user interface 
environments but don't use them much for productivity until I can get 
confident about my ability to use their accessibility effectively.  Your 
mileage probably will vary.  If I recall http://kali.org is where you 
get it and it's a debian fork which is really interested in security.

OK, I've no resorted back to using /etc/network/interfaces and it's working.

   Here's what I did:
   ***1)
dmesg | grep wlx    ## show the name of the wlan interface    ## it is
usually called something like wlx008733553e50

   This will show something like r8712u 1-2:1.0 wlx008733553e50:
renamed from wlan0
   That note of the name wlx008733553e50

   ***2)
   Then edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to the following
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

   ***3)
   Obtain hash_of_the_password_of_your_wireless_accesspoint with this command:
wpa_passphrase name_of_your_wireless_access_point
#enter_password_of_you_wireless_access_point_and_hit_enter

   ***4)
   Then edit /etc/network/interfaces to the following:
   ## remember that wlx008733553e50 was obtained
auto wlx008733553e50
iface wlx008733553e50 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid name_of_your_wireless_access_point
wpa-psk hash_of_the_password_of_your_wireless_accesspoint


Does anybody know how to get this working with NetworkManager (in managed mode)?

Are you using network-manager 1.1.91?
If so, this might be
