Hi all,

I am having strange issue with using a usb-wifi dongle on the jetson-nano board.
HW: Jetson nano C100

Model: NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer Kit - Jetpack 4.6.6 [L4T 32.7.6]
NV Power Mode[0]: MAXN
Serial Number: [XXX Show with: jetson_release -s XXX]
Hardware:
 - P-Number: p3448-0002
 - Module: NVIDIA Jetson Nano module (16Gb eMMC)
Platform:
 - Distribution: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver
 - Release: 4.9.337-tegra
jtop:
 - Version: 4.3.1
 - Service: Active

Fresh installed from Jetson Nano Developer Kit SD Card Image
Affected hardware.

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05e3:0620 Genesys Logic, Inc. 
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 075: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05e3:0610 Genesys Logic, Inc. 4-port hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

When fresh installed, above mentioned wifi dongle works just fine. Automatically connect to wifi on boot.

After sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade with Y when asked for updating configuration file, the dongle is not automatically connect to wifi and needs unplug and replugging the dongle everytime it reboot.
Why this happens and how to solve this issue?
Thanks,

Hi,
We would suggest check which package(s) triggers the issue and try the steps:

$ sudo apt-mark hold package1 package2 ...
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo upt upgrade

So that the packages will not be updated.
