Hello,
I'm having issues with getting the wireless to work on two separate laptops after a reinstall of Fedora. Before this reinstall both laptops wireless had been working correctly with no issues.
Issue: Both systems report 'Wi fi Networks: "Device not ready"' for the wireless panel (top right on mate). Thus not permitting me to really do anything with the wifeless device on these systems.
Software Install:
OS: Fedora 32
Spin: Mate/Compiz
System is up to date via dnf
Troubleshooting
Technical Troubleshooting Summary: I can see the wireless device via lspci on both systems, and see the kernel module loaded. I'm unsure of what to check after this point.
