First of all, sorry for grammar issues. English not my native language.

It was working on f36 but after clean installing f37 KDE, wifi not working anymore (Blueooth works fine). I’ve tried some troubleshooting guides bot none of them worked.

Try running rfkill list to check that wifi is not blocked. Linux-hardware.org will show you which drivers work for other linux users.

This site appears to have died. Fedora still has the hw-probe perl script, which can generate sanitized reports suitable for uploading. There is a parallel BSD-hardware.org where you can search for reports that match your hardware. BSD often uses ports of linux drivers, so the reports can sometimes be useful for linux.
