Hi everyone,
Long time linux user here, but fairly new to Fedora. I bought a new intel Lunar Lake laptop expecting to have some issues on linux. To my surprise, basically everything works great on kernel 6.12, except I’m having a small issue with wifi on boot.
This is not a dualboot setup so my only installed operating system is Fedora. Fast boot and secure boot both disabled in UEFI. This is a fairly fresh Fedora install, except that I have enabled rpm-fusion and made sure linux-firmware is installed.
When my computer boots my wifi does not work, it appears disabled. Photo below showing the KDE interface.
I can turn on wifi through the toggle switch at the top left, and everything appears to be fine after that until my next boot, except that the wifi toggle switch still appears to be off. My wifi speeds are what I would expect as well. I am also unable to modify the wifi state any more past this point in the GUI, I cannot turn it off even if I turn on airplane mode.

Anyone seen this before or have any idea on how to get wireless to work on startup? It’s a minor annoyance at worst, but I’d still like to have it working properly.
Thanks in advance!
