Any ideas why, when I’m on live session of a distro, the wifi works just fine, but when I I install it the wifi has a red X over connections? Specifically this happened with Nobara and the reason I’m running Pop!_OS. I’d would love a fix though in case I want to distro hop, but still be able to install it.
That’s kinda hard to troubleshoot if you don’t even have the system setup anymore to test out stuff and go through logs.
My only advice would be to hop onto the nobara discord. The people there are really knowledgeable and helpful.
Yup this is true lol. I was hoping it was something well known and had an easy fix. For now I’m going to continue to use the popos install since it’s working well.
from the liveUSB can do you a lspci and see what wifi card is installed?
I would guess they turn every option on for a liveUSB in the kernel but then only enable the largest vendors/options for the default install.
It would help to know what your wifi card is. Did you look in dmesg for any clues? You’re probably missing the firmware blobs.
It’s a usb wifi adapter Netgear model:A6210.
Doesn’t tell me much, Netgear uses a variety of chipsets
