I’ve got a new computer but sadly I have no internet recognised on it. I am using Manjaro with tethering from my cellphone, and tried to follow many of the resources from internet. I will try to provide a proper log of some of the things I see in the system.
with
$ ip addr
shows the following values:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp44s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:92:04:20:ca:d9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp0s20f0u3c4i2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether fa:e9:4e:a0:b9:ed brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 172.20.10.4/28 brd 172.20.10.15 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enp0s20f0u3c4i2
valid_lft 81676sec preferred_lft 81676sec
inet6 2a02:3030:81c:8eb1:3736:b031:8535:1d42/64 scope global noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::40ff:a0fc:2d:f388/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
taking a quick look into it, I believe the enp44s0 is just simply down, and therefor doing the following:
$ sudo ip link set enp44s0: up
And it actually set UP the device like so:
2: enp44s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:92:04:20:ca:d9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
what is missing now is that the state of the default mode is Down, we can see that the angle brackets says properly UP.
But I am not sure if I am addressing the problem properly, because some of the commands I am using are a bit new for me.
the output of Inxi command I see many people post is giving me the following output:
Network:
Device-1: Intel Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi vendor: Rivet Networks
driver: N/A modules: iwlwifi, wl bus-ID: 0000:00:14.3 chip-ID: 8086:51f0
class-ID: 0280
Device-2: Realtek Killer E3000 2.5GbE vendor: Dell driver: r8169 v: kernel
port: 3000 bus-ID: 0000:2c:00.0 chip-ID: 10ec:3000 class-ID: 0200
So we can see that the device 2 has the proper card.
The result of the rfkill list all is the following:
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
but here we can see there is no Wifi, which makes me a bit of noise
I am currently using a dell laptop with dual boot with windows, and installed the following version of it:
Linux jota-studio 5.15.41-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 18 09:20:01 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks in advance for taking your time to look into this issue. I believe as the card was recognised there is something missing in the configuration itself to not use the card.
BTW I also tried to set the following file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf witht he value blacklist bcma because I heard some people having blocked the driver by default, and therefor blacklisting it and hoping the system to detect the non default driver worked for some people. I also tried to update the current system using $ pacman -Syu and also tried to do a pamac of the broadcom in the version 515 (which is my kernel version) , but no good luck.
This is the output of the broadcom version:
pacman -Qs | grep broadcom
local/linux515-broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-52 (linux515-extramodules)
I am not finding my way around this issue, any advice will be welcome. Thanks
