I've got an 8723AE and it's working as expected.

Sorry. Now wireless is working. It was not the card but had bad resolv.conf due to a bad previous uninstallation of connam and wicd...

I really like Devuan's stability and speed.

Thanks

Dear list:

First of all, thank you for admitting me. I have moved to Devuan after more than 20 years in Debian due to certain instabilities and various problems with systemd. Everything goes OK but I have problems with wireless. In principle detects the card, but does not connect. I have tried wicd and network-manager. I have compiled the kernel and driver, changed modconf at boot time, use a modern kernel.... Nothing seems to make this card work. The fact is that for a while it was working with Slackware, but I got tired of compiling. I prefer Devuan.

Any idea?

Thank you very much
