@Kohane i cant toggle wifi hardware manually. also there is no airplane mode option in settings

Uh? That's weird. Does your hardware has an airplane mode at all?

@Kohane i cant toggle wifi hardware manually. also there is no airplane mode option in settings

I guess then your wifi hardware isnt fully recognized.

my hardware has wifi on/off i.e fn+F2 , there is no airplane mode on hardware

Do you have broadcom wifi?

my hardware has wifi on/off i.e fn+F2 , there is no airplane mode on hardware

Then it makes sense that is not offered as an option.

Or a very recent raling card?

Then it makes sense that is not offered as an option.

rfkill can usually tell the chip to turn itself off. But for that it must have support for that model.

i have intell centrino advance n 6205 agn wifi

From my two laptops, one has a physical switch and the other doesn't but has mobile, airplane and wifi modes.

@Wolfshappen

i have intell centrino advance n 6205 agn wifi

That sounds to me like an old card... How old is your computer? Is it a laptop? I forgot to ask.

That should be fully supported out of the box.

Can you do a screenshot of the wifi settings overview please?

ctrl-shift-print

(Allows you to select an area, puts it to clipboard, then you can ctrl-v directly into telegram)

ctrl-shift-print

Or just Print. Mine works with Druck.

Then you need to go to pictures, possibly edit it, paste the file...

Time waste. :P

Ah, now I see why so many keys for that... ?

Then you need to go to pictures, possibly edit it, paste the file...

No? I simply send the screenshot as file.

it is i guess 6-7 years old

Oh, it should be supported then.

It's laptop, right?

It's laptop, right?

yes

can i share log file i generated from some bash file in ubuntu forums

Can you do a screenshot of the wifi settings overview please?

^@vibhcool

If needed edit out any personal details with the smudge tool in gimp :P

Can you do a screenshot of the wifi settings overview please?

is it ifconfig? , i dont know how to find this

is it ifconfig? , i dont know how to find this

Erm... you are on cli only?

no

i have gui

Open up gnome settings

Or your respective DEs settings.

Then go into wherever wifi settings hide.

is it ifconfig? , i dont know how to find this

If you're in Gnome, click on the upper right corner where the networks icon is. There will be a dropdown menu. Or there should be.

in dropdown menu it says wireless hardware is disabled

But you have it off!

Because it's off. Look at the switch in your screenshot, in the upper right corner. It says "Off".

Click this?

on turning it on, there is no change

Well, it doesnt recognize the adapter

Login and out?

Share the following outputs: journalctl -xe | fpaste

Sometimes that works even if it sounds stupid.

@vibhcool Can you use a live usb and see if the network is recognised there? Maybe Fedora doesn't have the drivers by default (e.g. because it's not OSS).

Earlier in other distros. I used switch wifi through fn + F2 . clicking on wifi doesnt turn on wifi. but i would be able to turn off by clicking.

These are recognized adapters.

Heck i have an old one of these laying around.

wifi wasn't working in live usb

It only gets wifi DISABLE

Please refrain from using the function key, its clearly implemented broken by the manufacturer. Let me find how to force rfkill to turn things back on.

rfkill list all | fpaste

rfkill list all | fpaste

Okay that is weird

It only gets wifi DISABLE

yes, it is wierd

https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/q33BHMuELdpYsQgb-gLTww

But someone else already had the same problem with acer, if that is an acer.

Typically utterly broken implementations by them

yes it is acer 4752

yes, it is wierd

sudo modprobe -r acer_wmi rfkill unblock all sudo modprobe acer_wmi

Then try that key again

And if it works NEVER EVER touch it again.

Acer bioses/uefis are just horribly broken beyond belief and often have problems like this.

I should make a wiki what to avoid when buying laptops for the intent of running linux. xD

nopes, it didn't work ?

"Asus/Acer/nvidia/broadcom wifi". xD

nopes, it didn't work ?

Setup dualboot to windows, enable wifi, reboot into fedora. The bios on your acer will periodically forget that it has wifi enabled, block it again.

wifi wasn't working in live usb

Then you're likely to be missing drivers. Or there's something wrong with your hardware.

i need the link xD

So you'd need to keep dualboot just for enabling wifi again.

Well, one can always use Ubuntu if someone owns acer

Sorry, but thats the state with acer.

Drago stop. This model has problems listed online even with ubuntu.

like my old machine lol

But well, it had trouble even with Windows

Then you're likely to be missing drivers. Or there's something wrong with your hardware.

this works with ubuntu and manjaro

this works with ubuntu and manjaro

Then they may have added staging drivers for it or appllied kernel patches just for acer.

Fedora doesnt do that, to keep errors from kernel patches to a minimum.

444 euros for a laptop like that is very good

How so?

this works with ubuntu and manjaro

Yeah, but they have different drivers and kernel policies.

ok, got it

Hello folks. Quick question: does Fedora still store network configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ like CentOS or is it deprecated? Thanks!

You can pick them up for like, £230

Even centos doesnt store it there.

(If network manager is installed)

How so?

Isn't it good?

Even centos doesnt store it there.

mmmh, I usually save them there. Where should I look?

It's a mediocre thinkpad and it's massively overpriced

Refurbished, with full guarantee for a year?

"nmcli"

"nmcli"

every command with `nmcli`is persistent?
