Media keys misbehaving and double press in a fresh install

[rajeevrdev]

I didn't think of a possibility of wifi driver support never being there. Return is not possible now. I'm trying to replace mediatek with an intel.

All of which still doesn't address the keyboard issue.
This thread just did a UTurn right back to the OPs original thread.

It's a start. Now we just need someone to step-in that can decipher the code from your origial post in this thread

It's been my experience to fix the problem is to blacklist the onboard wifi nic, Then reboot and the new wifi dongle should work. That is if it's a wifi dongle that works out of the box with Linux.

I've been told that I couldn't return things before but there have been times that I have tried (talked to a manager) and was able to get a refund. Give it a try:-

By replacing are we talking about pulling out a soldering tool and removing the onboard nic or blacklisting the onboard and plugging in the wifi dongle that OP purchased?

I'm pretty good with reading code but I have to go for now.
Be back later.

No bro, usually they're just one tiny screw to attach to the mobo. M.2 2230.

Just as a matter of interest.....Try loading mx linux onto a usb stick and running it is a Live version (not installed)

Download Links – MX Linux

mxlinux.org

There is AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) version of mx linux at that link

Oh, yeah, roger that--

Been watching Louis Rossman too much. LOL!
He does a lot of soldering on Mac books and is pretty popular on YouTube.

Did you try installing MX Linux?
The Advanced Hardware Support looks good.

so for those that don’t need the newer open source graphics stack, there is little point is using AHS

Update regarding wifi , Asus customer care did help in replacing the wifi card with intel. Wifi bluetooth works now, warranty not voided.
