[SOLVED]Can't connect to wifi after hard drive change

MisterChoc · 2016-12-06 14:21:00

So I took my hard drive, put it in another laptop that's the exact same model and now I can't connect to wifi anymore. Might be unrelated to the laptop change, I also ran some updates recently.

Laptop is a T450s with the intel wifi board.

Tried to connect using wifi-menu

So of course you'll probably tell me that the card is broken. But I've tried an external card that I know is working and I get the same result

Have you tried connecting manually?

This thread suggests that "p2p" message (also seen here, I'm sure there are other threads as well) may be caused by an already running instance of wpa_supplicant().

Can we see the output of:

systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled

That you attempted to use wifi-menu and have NetworkManager in your journal entries does not bode well -- they should *not* be used together on the same interface.

It was probably something in those line because after killing everything and starting just network manager it works again
