New installation on an old PC - Wifi not working

[stevef]

Was just going to post asking for more information - take trinidad's advice first to avoid confusing things.

Thank you both for your help!

I'm sorry trinidad I'm not that skilled and don't understand the "adding the kernel param to boot" part
Also I searched in the Bios for powersave options but could not find any. I have an old legacy BIOS with only a few options. Where could I find this?

Thank you!

Update: I tried with "pcie_aspm=force", but this does not seem to have changed anything.
Is this what you had in mind @trinidad?

@stevef, happy to get you more information to help solve this issue

I've not seen an obvious problem yet, so any additional help is welcome.
It's important just to change one thing at a time.
If you change something which doesn't have a positive effect, change it back to the original setting.

I'll try not to ask you to change anything (unless we find something obvious).

To try to see what NetworkManager is doing, please open a terminal.
Click 'Edit' on the terminal window, then 'Preferences'.
Under the 'General' tab, put a tick in the 'Unlimited Scrollback', then 'Close'

Once done, enter these commands in turn.
These reports may display one screen at a time, with a line like

lines 1-23

after each screen. Press space bar to view the whole of the report. When you see the

(END)

marker, press 'q' to return to the system prompt.

Code:

nmcli

Code:

nmcli general

Code:

nmcli device show

Code:

nmcli connection show

Code:

service NetworkManager status

Code:

journalctl -b -u NetworkManager

Once done, scroll up the terminal window to the first command and copy the results back to the thread.

Thank you
