Wifi adapter all of a sudden not recognized, though it worked at installation time
Hi,
I got RHEL 9.0 installed on a Dell 3891, fresh install of a server with no GUI. While I was installing RHEL 9 on this system, the wifi adapter showed up as recognized, established a connection with the wifi router and downloaded all the packages needed for the setup chosen at installation. It is a built-in wifi adapter, whose name and make was available while Windows was still installed on this system, but now it is not even showing up when I issue
lspciThat very same wifi adapter stopped being recognized right after the first reboot. The
ip awlp0s20f3nmcli dev up wlp0s20f3failed to add/activate new connection. Device class NMDeviceGeneric had no complete_connection methodThe
nmcli con showThis is not the first RHEL installation on this system. I previously had a RHEL 8 Server With GUI and the wifi worked in that case. The system originally came with Windows installed and wifi worked in that case as well.
How do I get the wifi connection back for this system? Some may say to just run an Ethernet cable from the router, however that wifi router is located in a building I have no access to. Router settings haven't changed since other devices I have still successfuly connect to that wifi network.
