I just installed elementary on my Windows PC and I have problems with wireless network : the WIFI networks are not detected.

network settings You can see the wireless connexion is enabled, but it says it is disabled... The available networks are detected in ~the 5 first minutes of uptime, and then... nothing.

me@mypc:~$ ip a | grep wlp
3: wlp3s0:  mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 40:9f:38:55:af:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Here you can see that wlp3s0 is "DOWN". Can you help me to use my wireless network ?

PS: My version of elementary is 5.0, and all packages are up-to-date. My PC is an ASUS Vivobook 14 X405UA

The command sudo lshw -sanitize -C network returns

  • Can you provide the machine brand and model, the wifi adapter brand and model if you know how to get it, and the output of the commands: sudo lshw -sanitize -C network | lspci

  • Run this please: modinfo r8822be | grep parm. And next time don't crop outputs, I got the info I needed but in the future don't do this.

If one of the parameters is aspm, when you run $ modinfo r8822be | grep parm

Try, in a terminal window, running:

$ sudo modprobe -r r8822be

$ sudo modprobe r8822be aspm=0

If it works to make it permanent just run:

$ echo "options r8822be aspm=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/50-r8822be.conf

The next time you reboot you won't have to execute any command

  • I tried your solution but when I ran this all wireless settings disappeared from the desktop.

  • Yet you still "crop" the result by not providing them. I can't help you if you don't help me to help you. Simple as that. PS: To rollback just reboot, if you made the change permanent even if it didn't worked you clearly didn't read what I wrote. The solution for the later (in this specific case) is remove the file and reboot. To remove the file just run: sudo rm -fr /etc/modprobe.d/50-r8822be.conf. Good Luck

  • Sorry, after testing your solution I forgot to post the output. I read your whole post and I did not make it persistent. I'll post the output tomorrow.

  • Is my question abandoned ? I really need to use WiFi on eOS.
