The Wifi adapter is not displayed in GNOME after using Wifiphisher

Hi everyone. I want to know how to recover my network wifi configuration. As you can see in the title, i was using wifiphisher and after that, the wifi icon disappeared from the gnome-menu at the corner.
Also, I know my wifi adapter is not uninstalled, because I can see it when I use  ifconfig -a or  iwconfig  and when I use the wifi radar tool it shows me the APs available in my house, which means my Wifi Adapter is working fine, but I can not see it in gnome GUI.

- I restarted the laptop, but I have the same result. The icon did not appear anymore.
Some commands i used:

- sudo airmong-ng stop wlp1s0
- sudo ifconfig wlp1s0 down ... then "up"
- systemctl restart NetworkManager
- systemctl restart wpa_supplicant
- nmcli radio wifi on
- rfkill unblock all

but none of that worked. (not in that order)

This is some information about my wifi adapter:

MYCOMPUTER: iwconfig

Can you connect manually?

Moving to NC...

Re: The Wifi adapter is not displayed in GNOME after using Wifiphisher

Hi jansonwryan. Well, I tried it with wifi-menu and I was able to connect to the internet. But I need to do this every time I boot my laptop. Also, I still can not see the wifi icon in gnome and also in the network setup menu. It is as if it were invisible or unrecognized. When I do an "ifconfig" at startup the system only shows me the adapter "lo" and not "wlp1s0".
What i need to do? I think is only a bad configuration that Wifiphisher gave me.
