Problems connecing to WiFi

Hi :slight_smile:

I am having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi as usual (in my case that is clicking on Networks in the status bar and so on).

I am having the same problem with every Wi-Fi connection (work, phone).

However, connecting via nmtui-connect DOES WORK :confused:

I tried to search for solutions by myself but so far could not resolve the issue.

This is my inxi output:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

This is the content of /etc/resolv.conf

The /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf is empty, I guess since I tried to fix by restarting the NetworkManager.service.

Thanks for considering to help, I hope I did not make any mistake in asking this question, if I did: sorry :slight_smile:

Hi @pater_gonier

There is a newer Kernel, try to install.
It may be a driver problem. Please check Internet connection is way too slow - #6 by limotux
and [SOLVED] WiFi Very Slow, Eth. Is OK (though it was on Artix but it is still Arch as Manjaro.)

Try the new kernel and drivers.
I hope this helps.
P.S. My machine is Lenovo as well, but other model, above worked for me.
