Not right. There are reasons why one would behave differently from the other, mostly related to the fact that HTTP is a "known" and "blessed" protocol while CC's wireless device is not. Because you are using Linux I am not able to help much more than that.
The folder device isn't an MTP connection. It is a "special" device that uses a folder on the calibre computer as a device. You connect a folder device using the "Connect/Share" toolbar button.
It is worth noting that sometimes calibre attempts to connect to devices that it cannot use. We have seen cases where (for example) a webcam had the same USB id as a device, and calibre continuously tried to connect to it and failed because the webcam has no storage. It could that something like this is happening to you. One way to find out is to run calibre's Debug Device Detection (Preferences / Miscellaneous / Debug device detection) to see what devices calibre is attempting to process. Do this with no "real" devices attached to the computer. If you see calibre "seeing" a device that isn't really a device then you can fix it by disabling that device driver in calibre.
If the above doesn't help -- what seems clear is that the problem is on the calibre side. I suggest that you go through the steps to make a calibre debug log. See our FAQ
How do I get help? for instructions. Start calibre in debug mode, let it stabilize, then attempt to connect. After it fails, close calibre and save the displayed debug log. There should be a lot of info there about what calibre saw and what it is doing.
You are welcome.
