Hi, ignore my first reply, it was send by accident. If sudo lshw -class network claims that no interface is available, then you perhaps pushed the laptop's button, to disable it. Or if it's not the build in Wifi, you need to remove and plug in again the USB Wifi thingy or what ever else, consider to post commands and their output. I guess the issue is the above mentioned, that you likely disabled it by pressing a button on the laptop. Not related to disabled hardware is the following, that anyway might be useful. What's the output of sudo lshw -class network and <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> pidof dhcpcd and assuming you're using NM systemctl status NetworkManager.service ? I suspect you're using NM, if so running sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service might work. If you reply, please not to me directly, just to the mailing list only. I reply to you directly + the mailing list, because there's much delay for my messages, coming through the list.
