I am having problems with a Sitecom (Model: WL-168 v1 004v Link to website) USB wireless adapter: after selecting the network I want to connect to, the "connecting" status ends and nothing happens.
I start by reporting two important things:
- The same adapter works perfectly on Debian jessie (lastest version), without any problem.
- I have already looked up on the Internet (I read 4-5 topics on this website too) and tried the suggested solutions, none of them worked for me.
Here is the message related to my problem:
"dmesg | grep wlx000cf63c72822" output, soon after I select the network I want to connect to:
[ 2659.147924] wlx000cf63c7282: authenticate with 30:91:8f:e5:17:db
[ 2659.323064] wlx000cf63c7282: send auth to 30:91:8f:e5:17:db (try 1/3)

As I said, I tried many solutions, but they could not fix my problem. I read about linux-backports-modules-wireless packages, which I thought might be helpful, but I could not find any way to download/install them.
Do not hesitate to ask me for more details, I will help you as much as I can.
