Hi,
Since yesterday I’m experiencing troubles with wifi. I am unable to detect any wifi networks and running ip link shows the interface is down.
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

link/ether 76:63:99:5b:78:fe brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff`
I’m using a Mac mini 2014
uname -a

I tried check the logs of NetworkManager and I got the following error:

Checking the logs of the wpa_supplicant service gives me the following error logs:

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
