Hii to all linux users, hope you can help me.
I updated my system a couple of days ago, pop os 24.04 LTS and wifi stoped working. The problem is i dont have wire so wifi is only connection to the internet curently. And i managed to lose it… So i tryed to fix the problem by switching to older kernel but it didnt fix the problem unfortinetly.
I gave up and reinstalled whole system thinking it will fix it. And since i do it i decided to try new cosmic alpha system. So i downloaded that and i like it despite its not finished and it has bugs and missing features. But that didnt fix my wifi problem! Its still not working.
I have two ssd-s, so on my main one 1TB i have linux and thats what im using, but on second one 500GB i have windows 10 for some games that doesnt work on linux. So i was using that to download latest pop os and my wifi card works so its obviusly not dead or anything.
I plan to get wire but i have some drilling to do for that and i would like to fix wifi card before that if possinble.
Almost forgot, my wifi card is Asus pcie card, with two antenas, its red and wery beautifull. Tryed to uploud picture of it but my acount is new so that wasnt possible. I dont know exact model number but this one looks exactly like mine so meabu its that one.
I was enough of it and i called one friend to drill the hole and make cable connection finaly so its all good now. But i want to have wifi just in case because you newer know. So the list of well suported wifi cards will be of great help. And i was curios what was the problem at first place anyway… Thank you all for help, you are the best. <3
Three things,
- Have you tried using a newer kernel?
- You should be able to use a USB tethering to use your phone for internet.
- I really despise USB & PCIE WiFi adapters as they cause so many issues. If your computer has an ethernet port then you are better off getting an WiFi access point that has Wi-Fi bridge mode, you can connect your computer to it using an ethernet cable then connect the access point to the WiFi. Your computer only sees the ethernet connection so no additional drivers, settings or futzing around needed.
Hm thats wery interesting and new to me, didnt know something like that exists. Thank you.
I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.
If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.
What does: sudo lspci
Output? If it doesn’t show up in the output of that command it may be a hardware issue. Also some laptops have physical wifi switches that people forget are there and accidentally switch on.
Thats the autput i took a picture of the code with iphone and copied the text from that picture since i dont know how to transfer the autput with no internet connection 😣 Hope “copy text from image” opcion didnt corupt some part of the text. Also its desktop pc its not laptop.

It’s probably related to this recent issue
In my experience Broadcom on Linux is a bad omen, second only to Nvidia. If you can, I’d recommend switching your Wi-Fi card for one that has better Linux support (e.g. “TP-Link Archer TX3000E” or anything that uses an Intel chip inside really since support for them is handled directly by Intel and integrated into Linux’s source code). Good luck! :)
Tnx wery much, thats what i wanted to know. Whats the isue and what is better wifi card for linux since this one looked like bad opcion for compatability, even i could conclude that. XD
No worries Mickey Mice! Hopefully you won’t face any more big hardware issues after that ^^’
Good luck in your Linux journey! :)
Here’s a list of well-supported USB WiFi adapters - https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/USB_WiFi_Adapters_that_are_supported_with_Linux_in-kernel_drivers.md
Thank you wery much thats what i need definitly!
Get a supported usb wifi stick, it costs about $7.
Yea good point.
