No matter what I do, I can't connect to wifi. I replaced the built-in Manjaro KDE Plasma with Manjaro Xfce. I'm using the wifi menu widget on the task bar to select my router, entered the correct password a million times, and it just pauses a great while trying to connect and then asks me to enter a password again. Does it every time.
This is the only device in my house that has this problem. I've used Wifi on my Pinephone, my android, and like 4 other computers, and my family has other devices with working internet. I've tried reconnecting to internet on a few of these devices and it worked. My new Pinebook Pro is the only device that refuses to connect to internet.
This has been happening for a full week now. I haven't even been able to use it effectively without internet. Without internet, it's extra space being used up in my house that I don't need if it won't work. (i bought a table for it)
Pretty frustrated, to be honest, because I'm pretty sure my 30 day warranty expired by now.
To top it all off, can't reinstall the operating system it came with, (or any operating system made for it, for that matter), because the micro sd card reader isn't reading my micro sd card. So unless I can fix wifi, I'm basically screwed.
Though a separate issue, it would be nice to have the micro sd card reader working again, too. Not sure if that will ever happen, either?
I'm a developer who ports my software to a lot of operating systems, including windows, mac, linux, freebsd, and I would like to get netbsd or openbsd working on my pinebook pro since my other machines are being used for other things at the moment and can't have their os replaced easily right now without being a big sacrifice.
Any help is appreciated, like you have no idea!
