[SOLVED]WIFI not working on MSI TOMAHAWK B650 WIFI PLUS

jerryDaBaaws · 2023-02-27 05:36:17

So I built a new rig, with amd cpu/gpu and mobo as MSI TOMAHAWK B650 WIFI PLUS, everything worked fine in begining, but after some time, somewhy wifi stopped working, I checked, and found that wifi chipset disappeared from ifconfig output somehow, and also rfkill list output is showing empty.

It came back somehow after a few days, i restarted and updated system multiple times in between, but what exactly triggered it coming back, im not sure.
this time it happened again, and im stuck.

any idea why , and how to debug it , ethernet still works?

Do you have a parallel windows installation?
Does the NIC show up in lspci or lsusb?
Does it (or its bus ID) show up in the system journal?

no , just an arch install

MediaTek is known for its bugs. Check, that you are running kernel >= 5.18.
After this, you should unplug your pc from the outlet or turn of switch on the PSU. Then spam turn on button multiple times for several seconds to discharge capacitors on the motherboard. Wi-Fi controller will reset its internal state and will start working after this.

had the issue with kernel 6.0.10, turned off the laptop for 5mins then it worked again
