Wifi so sometimes work, sometimes it does not

[JP201]

All,

While looking for a solution for exactly the same problem as the OP , I came across this forum. Sometimes wifi works, sometimes it doesn't. Also dual boot with Windows, and in Windows wifi always works perfectly. When wifi does NOT work, inxi shows:
Network:
Device-1: Intel Wireless 8265 / 8275 driver: iwlwifi

And iwconfig then shows:
l0 no wireless extensions

I cannot show what it would normally say when wifi is working, because regardless of how many times I reboot my pc, wifi doesn't work

You may need to turn power management off:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Reboot

Hi sleeper12,

Thanks for your reply. This morning when I started my pc, wifi was fully operational again. I will wait for it to fail on me, and then apply your suggestion to see if that solves the problem. Again, many thanks for your help so far.

Check iwconfig to see if it's on or off.
