Fedora 41 wifi adapter not found

I’m really new to fedora and I really like the project but I can’t connect to the wifi!

I just installed it and when i go into the wifi settings I receive the “No Wifi adapter found”

I just installed it (fedora 41) on my laptop, I tried to connect my laptop to my wifi again and the same thing happened, it just displays an airplane mode option with a text “No Wi-Fi Adapter Found”.

This is the laptop I use: Asus Vivobook 15 (Intel IrisXe)

I’m still new to linux

Note: I didn’t dual boot, I fully installed linux on my laptop.

I fixed the formatting for you.

Seems you have a wifi chip/card that there is not a linux driver for.

Is it possible to replace the wifi card on your laptop?
If so the Intel wifi cards are know to work well.

There seem to be 2 distinct possibilities.

  1. Replace the existing mediatek card with one that works in linux. As suggested above the intel cards are known to work well. Most laptop wifi cards are easily replaced.
  2. Purchase a usb wifi dongle that is supported in linux and use it. Advantage → no need to open the laptop case. Disadvantage → a usb device that will need to be used for wifi access.

Both options have about the same cost. ($15 to $30 for the new device.)
