I have a laptop with 802.11ad hardware (Wilocity wil6200 802.11ad wireless network adapter). I have also installed Ubuntu 16.0.4 LTS version on it. It has driver wil6210 designed to manage the hardware. I think the firmware loads successfully each time. I have a snapshot of the syslog here:



<code>syslog</code> snapshot for firmware load



But in the network connections section 802.11ad interface (Wilocity) is inactive and it does not connect to the router with SSID TP-LINK_8FEC_60G.
Here is another snapshot of the situation:



Network connections image



I ran dmesg before and after trying to connect to router. The difference is in the following image:



<code>dmesg</code> difference before and after trying to connect



wlp2s0 is the interface for Wilocity wil6200.



What can I do to fix the problem?



driver=wil6210 
driverversion=4.13.0-37-generic
firmware=4.1.0.55


Update:



The result of dmesg | grep wlp2s0 comes in this figure:



<code>dmesg | grep wlp2s0</code>



The result of sudo dpkg -s wpasupplicant is in the following image:



<code>sudo dpkg -s wpasupplicant</code>

  • How and why do you have two network adapters in your laptop and why do you want to connect both? Do you love trouble? Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

  • The two adaptors work in different frequencies. Wilocity works in 60GHz and the other one works in 2.4GHz. The Qualcomm chipsets make this possible. I want this to work for a research project. This hybrid system is not that uncommon for communication as each band has its own pros and cons. And thanks!

  • Oh! You do love trouble! May we also see: dmesg | grep wlp2s0 Let's see if it tries to connect and what's going wrong.
