WIFI Card disabled all of a sudden
by banderas20 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D1FC)
Hi!
I have a Dell XPS Laptop with Ubuntu 20.04 installed. Recently, the wifi adapter stopped working all of a sudden, without any update.
The network manager shows "No Wifi Adapter available".
Code:systemctl status networkmanager shows:
Code:device (wlp59s0): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed', sys-iface-state: 'external'
Error: failed to open /run/network/ifstateI don't have any /run/network directory. Neither /etc/network/interfaces file
If I run Code:ip a, the device appears.
If I run Code:nmcli, it shows:
Code:wlp59s:unavailable
iwlwifi: <MAC> , sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500.I'm guessing I might have disabled it by mistake with a keyboard shortcut, but I can't get it back to work. II just can toggle the airplane mode on and off.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
