I work with Winmate FM10EC’s that are equipped with EM7411 Sierra cards. These cards have been constantly difficult and problematic to work with. Currently I am dealing with an issue where the device is listed in the device manager but is hidden. I have tried to update the driver’s multiple times. There are also multiple instances of the card hidden. I have deleted these multiple instances from the device manager and ran the generic driver provided for the card, but it still does not load the card. The card will also initialize and appear normal, in the device manager, but then disappears within a minute and is hidden again. I have also tried running skylight while connected to the internet with the hidden instances of the card deleted form device manager but still no results. Any insight or information will be very helpful I have hundreds of devices equipped with these cards and the problems with them seem never-ending.
If you run vmware linux, do you see such issue?
