What I did was this:



nmcli con delete uuid <uuid>


where uuid of wlo1 was specified. This disabled the wireless network hardware.



The command sudo lshw -class network outputs:



 *-network DISABLED 
description: Wireless interface

vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0

resources: irq:17 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:b1100000-b1103fff


This shows that network is disabled. How do I enable it?

  • If you type command nmcli device show does it identify your wifi interface wlo1 (General Device) , MAC No. (HWADDR) and SSID (General Connection)?

I suggest that you re-enable the wireless with the terminal command:



sudo ip link set wlo1 up


You should be all set.
