Debian 9 - installed 2 days ago. Installed firmware-misc-nonfree_20161130-3_all.deb. Os is recognizing wifi adapter and network manager is showing all the available connections. No matter what I try, it won't connect. Any tips or solutions ? Thanks

  • Try disabling bluetooth. If still it doesn't work than try live booting some other distro and check if WiFi is working. You can try Antergos, Fedora

  • The problem is with the WiFi driver. Can you tell on which OS was WiFi working earlier?

In my own case, that could be fixed by

 $ apt install gnome-keyring

Actually I could connect to any previously saved networks, but when trying to connect to something else, nm-applet would not be able to popup the password input box, hence silently prevented me to connect to the network.
