Ralink rt61
by panorain from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J05M)
Hi, I am using a machine with openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Plasma installed, it has a Ralink rt61 pci wireless network card installed. I am noticing that I *Always* have to disconnect the card and then connect the card with Network Manager after I unsuspend the machine; in order to try to obtain wireless connectivity again. I have adjusted Network Manager -> Connections -> General Configuration -> 'Connect Automatically With Priority' to the value of 99. It seems better actually, and I am wondering if there is anything else I can possibly do? Is this even suggested to adjust the value to 99 (Which I believe is the maximum)?
