ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

And those aren't the names of the networks themselves? Are there any other networks within scanning range? Do they all look weird like this? Or do they look normal?
Comment 2 Barış Salman 2023-12-07 23:26:19 UTC
Hi Nate,

I am 100% certain those are not the names of the networks. Wifi is named "redmi9c bar" and ethernet connection is named "docker" visible in the screenshot. Those aren't random scanned SSIDs. Both shown as connected in the attachment. SSID changes when its connected. It looked normal in the disconnected section under the hrule.

How strange. Do you by any chance have an NVIDIA GPU?
