Yeah - I’ve contacted both. The Panda Team just responded, requesting output from these commands:

“hostnamectl”.  
“lsusb”,  
“ifconfig”,  
“ip a”,  
“iwconfig”,  
and “nmcli dev status” information.

I was able to obtain everything except the iwconfig information, as the shell didn’t seem to recognize it:

[root@XXXXXXX ~]# iwconfig  
bash: iwconfig: command not found…

This is odd, as the card operated just fine during the installation process (as in, it was recognized, and retrieving wireless information well enough that I didn’t suspect any issues with it at the time - but after reboot, the extreme latency manifested).

During the installation, there were so many issues being experienced, that I suspected that I kept obtaining [corrupted installations](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/rocky-iso-downloads-seem-to-be-corrupted/8894) - even though they passed the SHA-256 check. So many issues were experienced, that I had to re-install _six times_.

Is it expected behavior for the iwconfig command to not be seen - has it been deprecated for Rocky 9? If that command should be installed, how would I fix that, as DNF and YUM weren’t able to obtain the command package from my repositories…
