...I've gotten the impression that's usually a driver that can't initialize the hardware. To check, run these commands:gcmartin wrote:FWIW, I had a similar problem, recently, at my auto dealership's open network. My trusty laptop booting Live FD621 would NOT connect under any circumstances. I tried normal boot with save-sessions AND I also booted without save-sessions(native). So, I removed the booting LiveDVD and booted Windows which happily connected.
Probably would have spent some time in research, but, my car was complete within 30minutes. I did think it odd, though.
Questions
- what would be the recommended approach to assist development when these occur?
- Is there some specific reports/commands development would like to see the results of when this occurs?
Code: Select all
ifconfig
#see if there's an interface
#if yes:
cat /sys/class/net/<iface>/device/modalias
#if not:
rfkill list all #If you see anything here, you can unblock manually
lsmod |grep 80211
lspci |grep -ie net -e wire
