[SOLVED] Wifi networks not seen in Mageia 7

[SOLVED] Wifi networks not seen in Mageia 7

Postby meinsta » Jul 22nd, '20, 22:21

Hi,
I work on Mageia 7 and I am quite new to the system. Until some time ago I could connect both, wifi and wired networks but now it doesn't see any wifi network. Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!

Which desktop environment do you use currently? And please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all
lspcidrake -v|grep -iE "wlan|wifi|wireless|net"
ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -iE "net|wpa"


and, as root:
Code: Select all
ifconfig -a
rfkill list all
systemctl status network.service -a
journalctl -ab | grep -iE "fw|firmware|iwl|wifi|wire|80211"

As per the result you have provided
Code: Select all
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: yes


Your wireless driver is soft blocked. You can run below command to unblock all

Code: Select all
rfkill unblock all


for example in my machine - Bluetooh is soft blocked
Code: Select all
[root@jeevanism software]# rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
2: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no


Now I unblocked all with below command
Code: Select all
[root@jeevanism software]# rfkill unblock all

now if you run the list all command, you can see the result.
Best wishes :)
