Hi guys, Something odd happened today, on my first clean boot of the day. (notebook DELL vostro v131)
Simply, no wlan0 at all. $ ifconfig -a #shows only eth0 and lo. $ lspci #shows no wifi at all (should be a Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 BGN Rev=0xB0) $ lshw -C Network #shows only eth0 $ rfkill list #shows nothing I checked all logs, no error. dmesg, syslog, kernelog, messages... (what else?) It simply disappeared out of the blue. I bought a usb wifi dongle to work a bit, and its working fine as wlan2. But well... What can I do, or check? Maybe try to recreate the interface. I tried $ rmmod iwlwifi $ modprobe iwlwifi but nothing seems to bring it back. Also, old dmesg shows (when it was working) that the driver should be: /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode, version 18.168.6.1 I found this driver related to * Intel Wireless 6005/6205 firmware, version 18.168.6.1 * Intel Wireless 6030 firmware, version 18.168.6.1 Not the Wireless-N 1030. Why it was working on what seemed to be the wrong firmware? Why it disappeared now? The driver * Intel Wireless 1000 firmware, version 39.31.5.1 (iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode) will work with intel Wireless-N 1030 BGN? How could I test it? Because modprobe do not select the driver. Thanks any help.
