Hello.

This error occured in Ubuntu about a month ago.
I installed Fedora yesterday and this error started to occur today.

What’s your wifi chipset? Use lspci to find out. Please post logs and terminal output as “Preformatted Text” (see your modified post above).

I have Ubuntu and Fedora nearby.

There are many chispset versions using this name, not all from Intel. You should provide the full PCI IDs for both systems:

Vendor ID:	8086
Device ID:	
Sub-Vendor ID: 8086
Sub-Device ID:

Linux Hardware has: PCI 8086:24fd:8086:0010, 8086:24fd:8086:0050, … (15 entries), and a few with non-Intel Sub-Vendor ID’s. Most use the iwlwifi module, but also require an ACPI module
Linux Hardware Probe that failed fpr PCI:8086:24fd:8086:0010 on F37.
