I recently installed Fedora 38 and found that I am unable to use WiFi. Moved from Linux Mint thinking it was a Mint issue but turns out I cant connect to my WiFi on Fedora too.
I followed this article but can’t figure out how to install a custom driver.
uname -a result:
Linux fedora 6.5.5-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Sep 24 15:52:44 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sudo dnf update result:
Last metadata expiration check: 1:47:26 ago on Sun 01 Oct 2023 04:33:41 PM +03.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
My laptop is a Inspiron 15 3000. Please ask me if you need any more info.
Usage: lspci [<switches>]
Basic display modes:
-mm Produce machine-readable output (single -m for an obsolete format)
-t Show bus tree
Display options:
-v Be verbose (-vv or -vvv for higher verbosity)
-k Show kernel drivers handling each device
-x Show hex-dump of the standard part of the config space
-xxx Show hex-dump of the whole config space (dangerous; root only)
-xxxx Show hex-dump of the 4096-byte extended config space (root only)
-b Bus-centric view (addresses and IRQ's as seen by the bus)
-D Always show domain numbers
-P Display bridge path in addition to bus and device number
-PP Display bus path in addition to bus and device number
Resolving of device ID's to names:
-n Show numeric ID's
-nn Show both textual and numeric ID's (names & numbers)
-q Query the PCI ID database for unknown ID's via DNS
-qq As above, but re-query locally cached entries
-Q Query the PCI ID database for all ID's via DNS
Selection of devices:
-s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] Show only devices in selected slots
-d [<vendor>]:[<device>][:<class>] Show only devices with specified ID's
Other options:
-i <file> Use specified ID database instead of /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids
-p <file> Look up kernel modules in a given file instead of default modules.pcimap
-M Enable `bus mapping' mode (dangerous; root only)
PCI access options:
-A <method> Use the specified PCI access method (see `-A help' for a list)
-O <par>=<val> Set PCI access parameter (see `-O help' for a list)
-G Enable PCI access debugging
-H <mode> Use direct hardware access (<mode> = 1 or 2)
-F <file> Read PCI configuration dump from a given file
That shows the driver is loaded (iwlwifi) as expected for an intel wifi adapter. No special drivers are needed for intel adapters.
Please tell us more about the adapter not found issue.
Clearly the system sees it and I wonder what you are trying to do and failing that leads you to this conclusion.
Are you trying to connect to wifi? If so then how?
I use the gnome settings at the upper right corner of the screen to configure wifi.
There may be conflicts with wired vs wifi networking if you are using both on the same access point/router/LAN.
Assuming you have an accessible AP nearby you may be able to simply use the settings and connect. If that is not working then please provide more detail as to what you are trying and what is actually happening.
I might add, that since this is possibly an AX210 card (it does not tell us) there have been several reports of certain versions of the AX210 that are problematic. However a check of the linux hardware database shows many probes with that exact card and almost all show it working under linux, various distros, for several years.
