LM 19.1 Cinnamon - Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000, no wifi

Post by srq2625 »

Just installed LM 19.1 Cinnamon. I have internet via Cat5, but WiFi is not working. Below is the customary output requested to begin diagnosis and cure:

As one can see, the WiFi doesn´t appear in the second output.

Running JeremyB script produces the following....

I would do

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
Reboot

Wow - quick response!

I'll give that a go in about an hour and post back with results.

Did not work.

There is one file in the indicated directory: default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Contents are (now):

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf 
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2
After reboot - no change. The network manager attempts to connect to the router and repeatedly requests re-authentication (repeated requests for the WiFi password).

On a lark, I've attempted same with LMDE 3 (but before I started this thread) - same results.

Any other suggestions?
