@Zeno  You are being asked again to use [ code ] tags when posting terminal output. I have edited your long post above to demonstrate the difference it makes.

Re: Tenda U3 USB wireless adaptor DRIVERS installing problem

virus@Virus:~$ systemctl status NetworkManager

Probably you will get some more info if you issue the command with root rights.

Maybe you also must increase logging verbosity.

Change /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf as:

[logging]
level=DEBUG

Re: Tenda U3 USB wireless adaptor DRIVERS installing problem

@Zeno: Yes, please repeat these commands with superuser privileges:

sudo dmesg | grep -Ei 'wlan|firmw|dhc'
sudo apt update

And please use CODE tags for dog's sake.

Your syslog output, the relevant bit (I removed the timestamp):

Can someone read network manager log output better than me?
All I can see is that it gives up on the wlan interface (wlx502b73c86f2b) for no apparent reason and goes back to wired.

@Zeno: while testing wireless please unplug your computer from wired.
BTW, is your wired internet also a USB device?
