Wireless is not working

[oreoiceblended]

Hello,


I recently tried to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on my PC (B760M GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR4) using a dual boot with Windows 11. The Wi-Fi works normally on Windows, but on Linux, no Wi-Fi connection option appears in the Network Configuration. I attempted to install the rtw89 driver from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89, but after rebooting, nothing seems to have changed.


Here is my wireless info script:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers.

Moved to Mint
try

cd rtw89 && sudo make uninstall

Then reboot and run the wireless script again

sudo rm /usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-47-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw_*.ko

Reboot

I've successfully removed the files and rebooted, but nothing changed. I also ran the 'locate' command again and found that the compressed files are still there.

[jeremy31]

Do the wireless script again and post results, the compressed ones should be the kernel modules and they should work fine

Here is the results:

[jeremy31]

Do a

sudo depmod -a

Reboot
