Issues with Linux-compatible USB WiFi adapter after Bazzite install on my desktop PC.

The USB WiFi adapter is: Panda Wireless PAU0D Dual Band (2.4GHz/5GHz) 802.11ac USB Adapter With Dual High Gain Antennas It has: Multi-OS support: 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7/8/10/11/2019/2022, Zorin, MXLinux, EndeavourOS, Mint, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Pop!_OS, Fedora, Rocky, Debian, Arch Linux, openSUSE, Kali Linux, Tails, Raspbian and Puppy. NO Mac support for Panda Wireless PAU0D. I can confirm that the USB WiFi adapter works as expected. I’ve used it on Fedora Spin KDE and Linux Mint without any issues. It doesn’t need any work arounds or drivers installed to work. __ I just installed Bazzite onto my Desktop PC. I do not have an ethernet that can connect to my PC. I have an AMD Radeon RX 6600. I do not have Windows on the machine this is a fresh install onto the SSD. What I picked when downloading the ISO: What hardware are you using? - Desktop Who is the vendor of your primary GPU? - AMD (RX 4xx+) What desktop environment do you prefer? - KDE (Like SteamOS) Do you want Steam Gaming Mode? - Yes __ When I installed Bazzite from the installation screen on USB, it detected my USB WiFi adapter and allowed me to connect to my router. However, after the installation, it no longer seems to be able to find any networks. (This is all I see: image is below) __ I’ve also restarted my PC. I went into the About settings and hit the factory reset button twice. Finally, I unplugged my USB WiFi adapter and plugged it back in. Tried different USB ports etc. I don’t know what else to do!

Forget it. I’m going to buy a long Ethernet cable instead. If anyone still wants to help and put suggestions for others who may have the same WiFi adapter. That would be appreciated.

Hey Blobby, I have the exact same adapter and also having issues with it, I believe I've managed to narrow down the issue though. Made a post here https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1344896858136379452/1344896858136379452 Does anyone know a Wi-Fi adapter that's truly plug n play with Bazzite?!
