Exactly what it tells you to do: sudo apt autoremove

Then reboot, and in a Konsole run
rfkill list
and rerun the wirless-info script and post the output of both here. That way we can see what changes have been made by you and the software now that the blocking has been removed.

Also, be sure that
libkf5networkmanagerqt6
libnm0
plasma-nm
are installed, and any dependencies, just to be sure all the necessary apps are installed.
And,
nm-tray
if you want it.

########## wireless info END ############

All of the packages you mentioned are installed.

First, it shows that wicd is still installed:

Installed: NetworkManager
Wicd

Secondly, the file: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
contains:

remove iwlwifi (/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) && /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 bt_coex_active=N
“options iwlwifi disable_msix=1”

which is the same in my system. The comment in the file is:

# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
# microcode file installed on the system. When removing iwlwifi, first
# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.

modinfo iwlwifi
shows that the current 18.04 iwlwifi kernel module (iwlwifi.ko) supports:

firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode
firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode

Do
lsmod | grep iwlwifi
to see if the iwlwifi kernel module is loaded. IF it is NOT, then try
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
and then do
ifconfig
to see if it is listed. IF it is not, then
sudo ifconfig iwlwifi up
to bring it up. Then
ifconfig
should list it.
iwconfig
will also list it.
If it is listed then NetworkManager can see it.

**jpc2769** · Aug 28, 2018, 09:18 PM

OK, lsmod | grep iwlwifi does absolutely nothing.

sudo modprobe iwlwifi returns

Code:

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf line 9: ignoring bad line starting with '“options'

"ifconfig" returns this:

Code:

I ended up creating a USB image of 18.04 on another computer, then using that to do a "clean" install, and everything seems to be working now.

I really think they should not be including the ability to upgrade distributions anymore, just prompt people to do fresh installs...

ETA: Thanks to everybody who responded and tried to help me out, I really appreciate it!

**claydoh** · Aug 29, 2018, 08:42 AM

They have worked fine for me for ages (9 in a row before the already old drive kicked the bucket) and I think that they work for most people.
Then again, those were not LTS to LTS upgrades.

I do believe the upgrade tool does suggest backing up data beforehand.

Announcement

No wifi after upgrade to 18.04
