After closing the lid on my P72 laptop last week and moving it
to the
livig room, I could not resume F32 when I raised the lid. I had
to hard
power cycle it, and after bootup I was unable to connect to my
WiFi
router. The router is fine, and WiFi works fine in the dual-
booted
Windows 10. But I can't figure out how to kick start my WiFi
connection.
I have restarted the P72 multiple times, with no success. The
copper
Ethernet connection works fine.
Any suggestions how to kickstart it? When I try ifup I get
this:
# ifup ATTxxxxxxxx
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found
for this
connection (device lo not available because device is strictly
unmanaged).
What is the output of "nmcli c" and "rfkill list"?
# rfkill list
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: yes
There's the problem. Somehow you've triggered the wifi kill switch.
Check for a hardware switch around the outside or a keyboard
function
key related to wifi.
There's no physical WiFi switch on the P72. As I said, when I dual-boot
to Windows 10 the WiFi works perfectly. The problem is within F32.
The "Hard blocked: yes" means that something thinks the hardware is
disabled. Check the journal "journalctl -b" and search for "rfkill" to
see what is triggering it.
Is there a file I can edit to re-enable WiFi which "nmcli c" seems to
show is disabled in software somewhere?
"nmcli d" might give better info.
