Wireless down after update

Hello,

OpenMandriva Lx version: 25.1 installed from Jan 15 image

Was working great until today, I did perform a dist-sync thru dnfdrake yesterday, system is shut down at night.

The proper driver is loaded, it’s just down.

output of inxi and inxi -n

Loading prior kernel from advanced boot options has same result, has wifi works great when loading live USB or win10 etc

Thanks in advance.

Upgrade  25 Packages

That is from sudo dnf dsync --refresh on a ROME 24.12 system. The distro-release* packages will increase the release version to 25.1. Nothing else in that list looks like it should have any affect on wifi.

Let me reboot and see if something breaks or not…

Back with wifi still working which only demonstrates that whatever affected you did not affect me.

Next I a not a developer my knowledge level is user. My first thought would be to be sure I had not done anything that might not affect this. Check that these two systemd services are running (yes I know that if ethernet is working they have to be working but I check anyway):

Be sure the iwlwifi module is loaded, but based on what you posted it has to be:

$ lsmod | grep iwlwifi
iwlwifi               389120  1 iwlmvm
cfg80211              524288  3 iwlmvm,iwlwifi,mac80211

As you can tell I like to check the most obvious or easiest things first. Next would be to remove the already established wifi connection and add the connection again.

Then if that does not work you can check this:

$ find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

And in that list go to the ‘N’ where you only want to see these 2 for NetworkManager:

NetworkManager.service                   | multi-user.target.wants
network-manager.service                  | system

Also a thing to try is restarting those 2 services.
And then I am old, it’s late, and right now I am out of ideas. But Arch Linux folks are not:

Configuring MAC address randomization

I tend to use Arch Linux wiki a good bit for problem solving. Also internet search.

Edit: I got the last bits there from here.

As always if problem persists post logs, journal log is usually most important. Maybe there would be something in dmesg.

I would start with posting output of:

$ journalctl -b | grep iwlwifi

I said I had no more ideas. But you can try sudo rmmod iwlwifi then if that actually removes that module run sudo modprobe iwlwifi and see if that corrects the problem.

IF: eno1 state: down mac: 90:2e:16:5e:d4:05
  Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi
  IF: wlp4s0 state: down mac: 20:c1:9b:43:3d:a7

That is showing down mac making that Arch Linux wiki page a strong possibility.

Edit: Bed time for @ben79.

Hope something I posted helps.
