Hi! i have a low spec laptop that used to run WIN11 and always worked fine.
Now i wanted to try linux (fedora35) but after installation there was no WIFI so i had to make the connection via bluetooth tethering for all the updating stuff.
To make it short:
*Bluetooth is always on when laptops boot (even if turned off before shut down)
*When i turn bluetooth off, then airplane mode turns it self on and if i turn airplane mode off, again BT is back on (facepalm)
*WIFI adapter is always disabled, no menu, no nothing
I have tried many online possible solutions and sometimes after that, WIFI adapter shows up (has menu, i can see network near me and even connect to mine) but as soon as i open youtube or anything BOOM it disconnects and is not going to show again (no networks near me, no name in the up right menu, nothing)
So after many many attempts i discovered that if i turn bluetooth off, then turn airplane mode off, then again my bluetooth off and then turn off my laptop (not reboot but complete turn off) then when i go back on, the WIFI adapter will appear and i can interact with it (looking to networks nearby, making a succesful connection to mine) but as soon as i put any load on it BOOM dissapears again.
So thats the problem after installing and reinstalling my Realtek drivers, im stuck with bluetooth tethering jejeje i have to say, im learning a lot
[annamemnon@adamski ~]$ inxi -Nxx
Network:
Device-1: Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter driver: N/A pcie:
speed: Unknown lanes: 63 bus-ID: 02:00.0 chip-ID: 10ec:b822
[annamemnon@adamski ~]$ [annamemnon@adamski ~]$ inxi -Nxx
I can see from top to bottom the first rtw_8822be entry without any driver even tho i just installed the thing
[annamemnon@adamski ~]$ lsmod
