Is secureboot disabled in your BIOS or UEFI? Have a HP-Notebook here, when I enable secureboot the wireless connection is gone, when I disable secureboot again the connection is restored.

Welcome to Ask Fedora! Check out #start-here to learn your way around the forum.

Unfortunately, Linux doesn’t include a WiFi driver for your device. You’ll need to disable secure boot and then install one of these two drivers:

In either case, you should be able to install the dependencies for building via sudo dnf install make gcc kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms.

If you’re using an out-of-tree kernel driver, then it won’t be loaded when Secure Boot is enabled, as that requires all kernel modules to be signed.

Well… I forget to mention that i had a double system in my pc, and i tried to disable the Secure boot and the boot manager instantly crashed, so now i’m not able to login in my fedora,
Anyway as i didn’t have anything important there, i will reinstall fedora and clean the other system, and i will try again this what you mention

It’s a bit strange, because from my personal experience you can enable and disable secure boot without such an effect. Are you sure you haven’t disabled UEFI boot instead of just disabling Secure boot?

Disabling UEFI boot indeed will make you unable to boot either Fedora or windows (if that’s your second system) or grub (the boot manager) indeed.

Definitely it is…, but yes I’ve just disabled the Secure boot, i was just able to boot through Windows (yes it was the second one),

Now i’m reinstalling and updating everything, i also disabled the Secure boot beforehand do something, and the system looks ok now, just left wait for that and then try to install those eternal drivers
