Severity: important

I've had problems with my USB wifi adapters on several systems where
it appears to associate and then promptly deassociates when the
interface name is generated by systemd (e.g. wlx*) and using
network-manager.

It gets caught in a loop for a few cycles between associating and
immediately after deassociating:

  aborting authentication by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)

A workaround is to disable systemd's interface renaming so that the
interfaces are named "wlan0" and such:

  ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link

Works like a charm after rebooting with interfaces named wlan*.


The following thread seems to describe the issue where I found the
workaround:
