 Time ago my friend and I tried the wifi network of the coffee shop and 
 it worked. We were surprised that tethering wifi with the two different 
 mobile phones were successful that time, too! 
  
 Yesterday I tried to upgrade the notebook of my friend from Bookworm to 
 Trixie. But tethering wifi with my mobile phone did not work anymore! 
 :-( 
 The problem is the same: many wifi networks are seen but the connection 
 does not succeed! I completed the upgrade to Trixie using my AR9271 USB 
 wifi adapter (which is using free firmware compiled from source) and my 
 mobile phone. 
  
 Would you be willing to debug the problem? Of course, I would provide 
 all the logs you need. But I have to say that my friend has only this 
 notebook, therefore I expect that he wants it back quite soon! 
  
 Thank you in advance! 
  
 Kind regards, Magnus
