[SOLVED] WiFi not working even after full reinstall

[Yasko]

Hello thank you for the help recently I have been trying to get Linux mint 21.3 working but my WiFi does not show up

all I see is Ethernet which I doesn’t work for me I know it’s just a Linux problem because I checked on windows and it’s all fine

the weird thing is that the WiFi was working at the start of the install and it told me I had to do a couple updates and after a restart it stopped working

First I tried reading forms and couldn’t find a solution

what info do I need to give terminal wise

I tried doing a fresh install of Linux mint 21.3 but still would not work

I also tried running numerous commands that I saw on other threads but still did not work

Then I did another complete fresh install but with no solution

Now I’m stuck using windows

You might need to disable secure boot in Bios, check mokutil --sb-state

Also, disable fast startup in Windows: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... html#ID1.1

After install did you go to the driver manager and install the wireless driver? It will be there since it was working with the Live USB.

First establish temporary internet connection by means of your cell phone.

Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);
- Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxxxpmrz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don't omit the space after inxi!)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output into your next message.

Do the same with the following four commands:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

Code: Select all

iwconfig

Code: Select all

lsusb

Code: Select all

lspci

Glad that worked for you. The clue was you mentioned Windows.
