Wifi report "device not ready"
by GrahamVH from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56HSF)
Hello,
I'm not sure this is the right place, as I'm fairly certain it's a software issue, but it's in relation to a hardware device so maybe?
I'm running Fedora 32 with mate desktop, and seem to be unable to get wireless working on two separate laptops after a reinstall of Fedora which had been working before (completely different hardware as well).
Both systems report when clicking on the Networks Bar at the top of my screen Wi fi Networks: "Device not ready".
Looking at lspci they each show a kernel module and it is loaded. Example from newish system trimmed to relevant parts of lspci:
Code:02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)
Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Killer 1435 Wireless-AC
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 139
Memory at dc000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/8 Maskable+ 64bit-
Capabilities: [70] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [148] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [168] Device Serial Number 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
Capabilities: [178] Latency Tolerance Reporting
Capabilities: [180] L1 PM Substates
Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci
Kernel modules: ath10k_pcilsmod output:
Code:# lsmod | grep ath10k_pci
ath10k_pci 49152 0
ath10k_core 471040 1 ath10k_pciLooking at iwconfig I can see the device and see no obvious issues with it other than the transmit power looks strange(the otehr laptop looks more normal for that setting):
Code:# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
virbr0 no wireless extensions.
virbr0-nic no wireless extensions.I've tried to follow some guides online looking at similar issues without luck. The only piece I couldn't figure out was one wanted me to modify a networkmanager interfaces file, which doesn't seem to exist for Fedora.
Thank you for your help!
