Problems with making wifi work on fedora server minimal

Hello, Today i just bought a nuc 8i3beh6
everything worked on windows, then as
i planned all along i installed fedora server
on it, the installer had no problems with the
wifi whatsoever but when the system installed
i saw that there are no traces of the wifi card being
there except a saved network config in nmcli, i
executed ip link show but no traces of wifi
here. I tried installing and enabling wpa_supplicant
but it didn’t help, what could i be doing wrong?

*There are no chances of a broken wifi card as
the card works in more ready environments
like the workstation live usb, or the server edition
net install.

Just woke up, I will send the outputs in like 15 mins.

The card is on PCI and lsmod shows that iwlwifi is loaded.

update: wifi firmware loading encounters error -2, according to the logs from dmesg

maybe some installation error, I will try reinstalling linux-firmware

Looks like i completely don’t have any iwlwifi firmware :flushed: , From what i see on the linux-firmware git repo, it should be on my system.

Ok, i installed iwl7260-firmware and now dmesg says it has loaded.

Ok, i solved the problem by reinstalling the system and installing the iwl7260-firmware package, as i bloated my system when trying to get it working and networkmanager said that my card wasn’t managed by it, now it works :).
