Can't seem to get Vanilla running on Laptop/PC.

Hi folks. Wondering if I just have a bad case of both my laptop & PC being incompatible or whether it's user error/a networking issue.

On my laptop I can sync fine, but get stuck in an endless loop when attempting to connect:

...until I forcefully quit it. On my desktop, I get stuck at an infinite loop of INFO RECEIVED SCAN RESULTS when attempting to scan for the Wii U. Any help to get connected would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey! May I ask, what's your WiFi card?

Hey! May I ask, what's your WiFi card?

can i ask? i can't seem to get this to work. I use ubuntu on vmware. i got to install everything. my wifi card is Realtek 8821CU 802.11ac usb NIC. I only got it to sync once. it show successful pairing but didn't show anything. now it won't sync at all .

Hey! May I ask, what's your WiFi card?

Hi! On my laptop (syncs fine, just doesn't connect) I have a Marvell 88W8897. On my desktop (which can't sync with the console at all) I have a Mediatek RZ608.

@Herop113 I believe you may need to use a native machine instead of simply a virtual machine, as this requires quite low-level hardware access that I'm not sure a virtual machine can provide. Additionally, your specific card has never been tested, and you may need to use an alternate WiFi driver to get this to work. If the issue still occurs when running Linux natively, feel free to seek support and create your own issue.

@AndrewDTR Hm, I don't believe either of your WiFi cards have been tested before. It seems like both cards may not be compatible at the moment, however the only way to know for sure would be to test with a known-good card. At this point, though, it does seem that an incompatible WiFi card is your most likely problem.

@VoxelTek I don't have a spare one only main pc running window. and i already installed that alternate wifi driver. before that driver i got nothing but after installed it successfully sync but afterward nothing happen when i tried to connect

@Herop113 again, not the same issue as this. Using a virtual machine is not a supported way of using Vanilla, and is unrelated to the issues currently being experienced here.

Ah, gotcha -- that sucks, but what can ya do. Thank you anyways!

@VoxelTek ok, thanks for your reply.
