The Linux Mint install connected to the WiFi 6 days ago but has not done so since that session.
The taskbar Wifi icon is arrows overwritten by an ‘X’
Right clicking on that icon shows Wired is cable unplugged there are no WiFi slide buttons
Clicking on network settings I see Wired but with an “X” and unplugged. A loopback connection which appears kosher and Network proxy which doesn’t help me at all.Clicking on the Network Connection I see my WiFi ModemRouter name (Config looks correct) and last used is: 6 days ago
iwconfig cmd shows:
Io. No wireless extensions
Enp0s31f6. No wireless connectionsThat’s it.
I have tried a number of suggestions from fora to enable, swith on, discover, list, etc. using various cmd but nothing was helpful. Some advised me to download an alternative network manager claiming there’s a bug in the distro, yeah, sure… without a means to connect how the hell is that possible?Anyways, if you’ve solved a similar prob, let me know. I’ll try anything at this stage.
