[Solved] Wi-Fi Stopped Working After Updating System on Thinkpad L-480

isuleman · 2023-10-17 06:12:47

So, it’s happening with a few Arch based distros that I have tried so far, including Archcraft.

Right now, I installed Arch Linux with Plasma using the ALG installer.

It worked for few days and yesterday after I upgrade, the Wi-Fi was working.

But now, today when I boot into the system, the Wi-Fi is networking.

It was happening in the Arch based distro that I tried before. Wi-Fi stops working after few days and I have looked for many solutions to no avail.

So far, I tried solutions listed here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274328
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=273685
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … _wireless/
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … er_update/

None worked.

So, my system is a dual boot system with Windows 11 installed alongside and WiFI works there so it is not a hardware problem. I have also disabled Fast boot.

Some logs:

Bluetooth is not working as well. In fact both the icons of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have been vanished. The only way to use Internet is now through Ethernet wire.

Please help.

Just to be sure, 3rd link below (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Then please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Screenshots of empty windows aren't really all that helpful

The chip is there, but

doesn't respond (110 is a timeout)

Try to add

pcie_aspm=off

to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters
Does it work w/ the LTS kernel?

sidebar: you're running at least NM and systemd-networkd in parallel. Pick one, disable the other.

I noticed earlier that Wi-Fi doesn't work right after I shut down windows and restart system into Linux. Maybe it's related to Fast Startup. So, I disabled Fast Startup in Windows and WI-Fi magically appeared.

For now, I have disabled systemd-networkd.

I will try with the kernel parameters that you mentioned and report back. Thanks

Yes, case closed. Common problem - that's why I pointed it out in response to "fast boot" b/c that generally refers to a BIOS setting which is entirely irrelevant here (I just wasn't sure whether you were talking about that or the very relevant fast-start windows feature)

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Ya it was BIOS setting I learned this term from the other threads so I just turned it off from the BIOS. Fast Startup is what I turned off by running powercf /h off command in MCD
