Greetings! I recently installed fedora workstation 40, after installation I saw that I do not have access to WiFi, and only have the option of wired conection. But I can use bluetooth.

  • Do you boot another OS on the system?
  • Has WiFi worked previously?
  • Does your “BIOS” have a setting to enable/disable WiFi?

It is best if you can ensure that the system is fully updated including vendor firmware so you aren’t chasing a solved problem.

Look at LHDB scans for this model . Sometimes there are user notes with workarounds for common issues, but Fedora tends to be ahead of other distros, so it is not unusual to encounter issues in Fedora with newer kernels that don’t affect other distros (because they get fixed in Fedora first). I find it useful to have a USB WiFi dongle to use while investigating issues.

Hi! I looked at linux-hardware (here is my probe: HW probe of Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIF... Desktop Computer (B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI) #5ac0a5a0cd), but I did not find such a problem as mine. I answer your questions: No, I don’t use other OS on this computer, I used to use windows and there wifi worked without problems, and bios doesn’t seem to have a function to enable wifi.
