Thanks for the suggestion, but this wasn't the issue - NetworkManager-wifi was already installed. In view of your comment that NM is now more modular I yum-installed NetworkManager-* which brought in several packages, but none unfortunately did the trick. Actually, this was my second-best laptop, a ThinkPad T61 (which I shall leave to my wife) and I'm on holiday in Italy now with my best, a ThinkPad T510. (When I acquired it a couple of months ago, it seemed the most recent ThinkPad that worked under Linux with no problems whatever reported). Thinking about the WiFi problem in absentia, I'm trying to work out HOW Fedora/Linux determines what driver to use with a given WiFi card, or indeed any card? And more relevantly, what makes the Linux kernel issue the RF-kill command ([tim@rose network-scripts]$ sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill ) This seems (to me) to imply that the kernel chose the driver iwl4965 and then decided that it did not work? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Fedora-21 upgrade - lost WiFi
I've lost WiFi on upgrading my Thinkpad T61 from Fedora-20/KDE to Fedora-21, using fedup. The WiFi card is Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 . I have what I assume is the correct driver - iwl5965 (and iwlegacy) loaded, When I run sudo ip link show the following interfaces are listed: 1: lo 2: enp0s25: 3: wlp3s0: I take it the last means the WiFi card is seen? But now I get [tim@rose network-scripts]$ sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill I'm not sure what this signifies? [tim@rose network-scripts]$ sudo rfkill list gives 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: no But after [tim@rose network-scripts]$ sudo rfkill unblock all I can run [tim@rose tmp]$ sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 up without complaint. Now ifconfig shows the interface, but without the local IP address given in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlp3s0 Maybe NM no longer reads this file? After [tim@rose tmp]$ sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 192.168.2.3 ifconfig shows this correct local address. But I am unable to connect to any other machine, and the router does not log any attempted connectiion. Any advice or elucidation gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

The upgrade is supposed to install it automatically. I just happen to upgrade to Fedora 21 during the beta period and there were bugs that made it not work properly. It might have been fixed since then. In any case, I do recommend using a ethernet connection for upgrades Rahul -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Fedora-21 upgrade - lost WiFi
I've upgraded 3 laptops. In each case, both ethernet and wifi disappeared on the first boot into Fedora 21. Rebooting fixed the issue.
