Dear Expert,
I was using linux mint 20 but wifi was not working there. I recently installed garuda linux and same issue i am facing here as well. Could anyone please tell me how to fix this problem ?
Only wired connection works fine.
Many thanks in advance,
Deepak
If u have a broadcom card install broadcom-sta
Intel is usually preinstalled
In most distros
Other than fsf endorsed ones
If you have a broadcom wireless card and installed broadcom-sta
You have to reboot after installing it
I dont know about atheros as i dont have an atheros laptop
U can know what wireless card you have by doing lspci
Hope it helped .
This is screenshot of lspci
Does the laptop have a wireless card it doesnt look like it does
Maybe your screenshot isnt covering the full commabd output
No it is covering full command output.
I forgot to tell that sometime wifi works, if i restart again and again it , sometime i have seen it works for short time.
Before linux mint 20, i was using linux 18 and wifi was working fine on linux 18.
but when i installed linux 20 i started facing problem with wifi.
and one more thing: Bluetooth tethering was working fine on linux mint 20 but in garuda linux it works for few mins only after that i restart again my laptop.
Does it work flawlessly in windows if not it is probably a hardware issue
Yes, it was working fine on window 10, i never faced wifi issue on window.
Then idk dude
Should I install idk ?
sorry i couldn't understand
Idk means i dont know
Check the output of
inxi -Nxxxz
and look for your wifi adapter chipset. Then, search the AUR for a similar adapter. For example, for an RTL8888EFG you can try:
yay -Ss 8888
Look at the package name and the description. If you find a package that matches your adapter then you can try installing it.
Thank you for your reply.
this is output of inxi -Nxxxz

and if i try this yay -Ss 810 .
i see a similar adapter:
chaotic-aur/r8101-dkms 1.035.03-1 (83.3 KiB 595.3 KiB)
RTL810xE Fast Ethernet Driver (DKMS)
OK, so the wifi adapter isn’t showing up at all.
Do you have a wifi adapter?
Is it enabled in the BIOS?
Did you replace the HP wifi card with a non-HP card that is blocked by the BIOS?
As @jonathon mentioned you need to check if your device is soft/hard blocked.
Run this command and post:
rfkill list
I would suggest installing the linux-lts and linux-mainline kernels to see if your wifi is detected.
You can install a new kernel with sudo pacman -S name_of_kernel. You must substitute the name of the kernel you wish to install in the command.
If that doesn't work I would suggest unplugging/removing all battery or power cords and reset your bios back to the factory default.
Without more information that's all I can suggest.I can't read your picture as I'm only on my cell phone.
Please post as text:
inxi -Fxxxza
No more pics please
Is your bios up to date?
Today wifi worked fine for few hrs but after sometime it didn’t detect wifi.
here is output of rfkill list

Apparently your wifi card is up and running.
Also not sure why that didn’t show up before in your inxi -N output - what did you change?
I think I tried to Swap kernels at garuda advanced boot menu option.
I was selecting some random kernel yesterday night.
From your above output. There is something drastically wrong if your system is loading the Broadcom WL driver for a Realtek chipset. I would look in the Garuda Hardware manager app and uninstall any Broadcom WL driver listed there.
You can run this command to temporarily unload the wl module:
sudo modprobe -r wl; sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be; sleep 3; sudo modprobe rtl8723be; sleep 3; sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
I would also disable MAC Address randomization. This should be an easily selectable option in the Garuda network utility (or search online for directions).
Unfortunately, that is one of the more problematic Realtek adapters that you own. I’ve probably answered a hundred or more help requests on that adapter. Fortunately, it is becoming more well supported as the driver matures on the newer kernels. It still has a fair share of issues though, as its not a great adapter (but reliability is improving for it).
Thread is deemed abandoned.
Thread is now closed.
PM a mod if you are the OP and wish the issue reopened.
