Driver installed but not listing any networks

[luigi-benvenaglia]

I am using Ubuntu 24.04 on a macbook, therefore my kernel is 6.6.62-1-t2-noble

I have installed the drivers according to the instructions and the device appears in the UI of Ubuntu as also in the output of iwconfig command

root@MyLaptop:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

wlxa86e84aadc65  unassociated  ESSID:""  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

However as you can see in the screenshot it does not list any networks.

The scan command with the interface name fails as well

# iwlist wlxa86e84aadc65 scan
wlxa86e84aadc65 Failed to read scan data: Resource temporarily unavailable

What might be the issue?

I have the exact same problem but I'm in kali linux. I think this is happening because this driver is too old.

Same problem here, and i think that has to something with kernel.

dkms status

iwlist wlx2887ba4ae3a4 scan
wlx2887ba4ae3a4  Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable

I have installed this driver and it is working with new kernel.
