Any clue on this.  my notebook has been having problems with networking.

My clue is that I am using a USB wifi  in place of the built-in wifi --
which is faulty (poor performance and probably not working on certain
frequency band).   Occasionally, I forgot to bring my USB, and has to
turn on the builtin wifi.  But, I almost never intended to run two wifi
adapters at the same tme.

But, even the interface is down, it is still configured.   My theory is
it has  something to with the various networking problems I have been
having.  In particular with public wifi -- many times I dont get the
wifi login redirection .  In several Starbucks,   it will not  see the
Starbuck signals once it lost them (probably just after network in-
active sleep).  Though, it can acquire the next door signals but not re-
acquiring google-starbuck.  Very weird.

I suspect that multi adapter related because the original poster also
run multiple networks.   I am not really.  But, I am also a developer.
I plug in my phone to PC to either develop app and such,  or use its
data in a pinch when my wifi does not work.

I am fairly technical -- used to work on TCP/IP and such 20 years ago.
If someone wants to cooperate with me... i will pitch in.
