I'm having two problems with my wireless at the moment and I don't know if they are connected so I'm posting them both up.

1) Wireless disconnects frequently but inconsistently and in no set intervals. I have tried checking the driver and turning power management off, but nothing seems to help.

2) I can't switch to another network as I am "Not authorized to control networking"

I tried solutions posted on other linux forums and they don't help, so I'm trying here, as I've never had this with other distros. I'm new to devuan and I'd really like to recommend it, but I can't in good conscience until this is working.
