My laptop only connects with WiFi: Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak] [8086:2725] (rev 1a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz [8086:0020]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
And it works good until I need to connect with a wire because there is no WiFi.
Any Ideas what should I do?
You have listed your wifi adaptor/driver, now you need to find your ethernet adaptor.
Use lspci or inxi -n and report back here with those details. We (or you) can look up the ethernet driver and see if it is supported in Fedora.
I typed: lspci | grep -i ethernet and nothing shows.
then I tried: sudo lspci -nnv but again no eyhernet devices only WiFi.
What else can I try?
I just try this: systemctl status NetworkManager.service

Decided to open the laptop and find out if NIC is not plug-in or burn.
everything looks normal, I unplug it took some pictures and put it back.
Now I know that the NIC is a HSB E89382 right?
Well, yes and no, It is a HSB part number is : FT590/FT531 NS-B905
What is the correct driver for this part???
If the NIC isnât broken or burned, lscpi must show it. Are you sure it doesnât appear in the list?
Could it internally be connected to the USB bus? lsusb would shows, but I doubt itâs connected there.
Post here, in preformatted text, the full output of lspci and inxi -n
We canât reliably tell from the device part which driver, and if we could, then still why canât you see it?
FYI, The
NS-B905 Rev 1 (Lenovo FRU 01YT388) is not a standalone network controller; it is a passive daughterboard . The actual chipset driving the network connection is located on the laptopâs motherboard.
Iâm pretty sure itâs based on an intel chip and should be supported out of the box. But letâs see your lspci output.

I used a Fedora 42 USB Boot drive to see if the default fedora would install the Ethernet but NO it only installs the WiFi. Not even the live boot find it.
Disabled in BIOS by any chance?
Can you test a live boot of a Debian based distro?
If that canât see it, then I can only recommend a USB ethernet adaptor - they do work well.
Checked BIOS like a thousand times, disable every network setting and re-enable it.
NOthing works
I will try Ubuntu 24.04 and I will let you know.
Nope, same thing. No solution. 
According to Lenovo Support this is the LAN Adapater my laptop should haveâŚ

Can I install the driver manually?
Are you sure your system has onboard ethernet? According to the PSREF for T15 Gen2 there were also models w/o onboard ethernet available.
Use the serial number and/or model of your system and lookup the exact configuration. If itâs a CTO model, then you def. need to use the serial number.
IIRC the UEFI firmware should also have built-in HW diagnostics you could boot via UEFI boot menu (F11?)
That wonât get you anywhere as the network card doesnât seem to detected at all. Moreover, you have driver already installed (itâs part of the kernel).
I did used the serial number of my laptop to get this information on Lenovoâs support site.
can I refresh or reinstall the drivers?
