Hi all,

I am a novice user and have just installed Fedora in a mini PC I had lying around. I installed from a live image flashed to a USB drive. Unfortunately, I cannot get the Wi-Fi adapter to work. After reading through similar requests, I hope to get the ball rolling with my system information:

In case I formatted this badly, please advise (I’m new to this message board).

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Welcome to :fedora:

Can you try dnf -y update && fwupdmgr update and reboot the machine?

4

What happens?

5

There is no Wi-Fi toggle in the quick settings (top right corner), wireless network options are not shown in settings and manually searching for wireless network in settings shows the message no Wi-Fi adapter found.

6

Will do once I get back to the machine on Sunday. I believe I tried that already as I saw this mentioned in a different post but will share the results and hope to be wrong :wink:

Just did (I believe I did this earlier, reading through other treads with similar issues), unfortunately, the Wi-Fi adapter still cannot be found.

I also tried using the following command

sudo rfkill unblock all; rfkill list all
nmcli radio all on; nmcli radio all
nmcli device wifi rescan; sleep 5; nmcli device wifi list

and got the following output:

0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN    
missing  enabled  missing  enabled 
Error: No Wi-Fi device found.

It seems to me like I’d need to find the driver for the wireless adapter and install it. I found a website that seems to list the driver, but I don’t understand how to install it.
