USB wifi dongle: Two wifi networks connected on Marvel 8997 devices

Project Member Reported by jmuppala@chromium.org, Sep 24

Issue description

Chrome Version: <From about:version: Google Chrome 70.0.3538.31>
Chrome OS Version: <From about:version: Platform 11021.26.0>
Chrome OS Platform: <Kevin, 4.4 kernel, Marvel 8997>

Please specify Cr-* of the system to which this bug/feature applies (add
the label below).

Steps To Reproduce:
(1)Connect external USB wifi dongle.
(2)uber tray/chrome://settings/network shows two wifi networks as connected.(internal and external wifi interfaces each show a network connected.
(3)terminal has ips configured for both mlan0 and wlan0.

NOTE: 
Do not see this issue in other devices as the internal wifi is wlan0, but here it is mlan0, and external is wlan0 hence show two networks as connected instead of preferring either one based on configurations.

Please see attached screenshot.

Anything we want to do for this?

Are you sure this is actually different based on device naming? You don't see similar behavior on Intel, where we'll have wlan0 and wlan1?

I'm not sure we can really resolve this (2x Wifi interface issues) without UI team support. There are a lot of things that don't work right, when the choice of Wifi interface is (currently) basically arbitrary. And for that, we'd really need to plan this out better.
Labels: M-71
for intel device (Candy- 11150.0.0, 71.0.3575.1), 
1)no networks listed when the USB stick is inserted.
2)networks not displayed on chrome://settings/network or uber tray.
3)did a wifi toggle off and on, wifi won't turn on anymore. (same as crbug/874612 for the wifi toggle broken part)


Shall i raise a seperate bug for this?
