WiFi not reconnecting automatically after sleep (KDE)  [Solved]

#1 Post by LearningMX »

I now installed MX Linux KDE on a ThinkBook 14 G3, WiFi didn't work out of the box and I had to manually install the drivers via https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89 (are those drivers that could be bundled with MX for easier out of the box connectivity?)

Even though `connect automatically` is selected, after sleep the WiFi connection is not restored until `connect` is selected manually via the tray icon menu. Is there something I can tweak to get it working automatically? This is the Quick Sys Info of the machine. Thank you all very much :puppy:

Your BIOS -> LENOVO v: GQCN26WW(V1.12) date: 08/23/2021

Latest BIOS -> GQCN30WW_HFCN25WW date: 24 Jan 2022
Webrelease
1. Implement SPD table for Samsung 8G on-board RAM.
2. Add the panel brightness nits setting about BOE and HKC.
3. Add ELAN I2C touchpad support.
4. Add the SAR table ID about Realtek WLAN

There seems to be something updated on your Realtek WLAN for radiated power from antennas. Can you update and see if the BIOS update makes a difference?

Open the network from the tray icon and check "use for all users" (or something of that nature).

Fantastic, this worked, thank you all very much. I'm amazing at the enthusiastic and friendly help in this forum! Not sure why kde decided to have a checkbox for 'connect automatically to network' and then runs the reconnection with a user that doesn't have the privileges to reconnect ..
