#191253 — Debian stable Mate wifi work but don't connect

I just tested after an issue was reported to confirm it, the mate live
iso has an issue with wireless, the first user is fairly unexperienced
and I'm fairly skilled as a linux community manager but uncertified
for Linux [sysadmin] (tried twice on my case).

On my system, Lxde live iso work perfectly so it could be a
misconfiguration of Mate, the drivers don't seem the issue.

The first system was also checked by a programmer that don't found
anything suspicious, the drivers is there but it don't work.

root@debian:~# iwconfig
wlx10bef5fd230c  IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

eno1      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

Just ask if needed for more informations.

If you have already identified the hardware, and confirmed it is not a 
driver/firmware issue, then the next step might be check for known 
issues or bugs against the method you are using to connect.  

I'm not familiar with either mate or lxde, they probably use one of either 
networkmanager or wicd.  There is some information here:
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

I usually check bug reports by using http://bugs.debian.org/ 
and add the pkgname on the end.

Good Luck.

What have you done to try to connect to the Access point? The card seems to 
be working, but not connected.
I have just started a Ubuntu Mate 17.10 live, it works without problems. You 
must see the network-manager-applet on the right top in the panel, left-
click on it and you should see the ESSID of your AP and be able to connect 
to it.
