Bug Description
When I start up from a Ubuntu 16.04 Live CD, I do not get a wireless network connection, instead it seems to see my USB device (a Belkin F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter) as a "wired connection".
If I do 'service network-manager restart', or unplug and replug the device, then it sets it up with the rt2800usb driver, gives it a wireless connection, and allows me to connect to wifi routers as normal.
A potentially similar issue has been reported with a GB-WB867D-I card at http://

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Bugs/ Upstream/ GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
