On its first standalone boot from the HDD, I could still connect but could not get the update manager to update. I decided to switch to ethernet and get my updates. I did another reboot to check if my wifi would work better now but Network Manager says Wifi is disconnected. I tried turning the wifi on and off using Fn+F2 keyboard shortcut but I was still getting the same messsage.
I did an rfkill list all to check if it was soft blocked for a reason and found this:
Code: Select all
1: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
3: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I ran dmesg | grep wlan0 to find out what was going on:
