Cannot connect to wifi after using kali linux

Hello, i made a dumb mistake messed around on kali linux did something to turn off my wifi. I ended up fresh installing kali linux. Still no luck, i then fresh installed elementary OS still no luck. I then went back to kali linux. No luck.

Now i am on a live version of fedora and am on the verge off tossing my laptop across the room giving it a couple of kicks and then re attempting to connect to wifi.



sudo nmcli radio all on
sudo rfkill unblock all

If the issue persists, try to power off and then cold start the laptop.

Still nothing :frowning:

Cold start as in?

I also get failed to restart networkmanager.service when running systemctl restart network manager

journalctl -b -u NetworkManager
journalctl -b -u NetworkManager-dispatcher.service

please paste outputs of

Also, does your machine have a physical wifi switch or keyboard hotkeys to turn wifi on/off?
Btw, I don’t necessarily think the ‘firm’ mesages in your first photo are related to the issue.

I have no way to paste and i really do not want to write 50000000 words :tired_face: sorry

please paste terminal output as

In your Kali network manager seems to be happy. Maybe you were just missing the driver in Fedora. What is you wifi chipset? lspci will tell.

Would installing via hard disk make a diffrence? I am unabke ti connect in fedora live or kali linux

where has the lspci command gone?

ip link show
tcpdump --list-interfaces

That list doesn’t show any network controller.

Is your wifi card a USB dongle?

No its a card

it’s not recognized. you will have to boot Fedora live image and look at dmesg or journalctl -k -p 3 -b again, maybe there is a hint why.

check lsusb too, that funky card could be sitting on a USB host controller or so.
