After installing fedora 40 the wifi ist working.

I installed GitHub - lwfinger/rtw89: Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device without errors.

I have only used Debian and not experienced with Fedora.

Any ideas?

I always do minimal install. I got the same issue with Debian but i only need to execute:

sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces and reboot

I forgot to add “NetworkManager Submodules” during install. I also installed @“Hardware Support”
