  • Please edit your question to add the result of: rfkill list all Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Aug 29 '18 at 14:39
  • We wonder, then, why it is disabled. Please run and provide a link to the wireless script: https://askubuntu.com/questions/425155/my-wireless-wifi-connection-does-not-work-what-information-is-needed-to-diagnos/425180#425180 – chili555 Aug 29 '18 at 15:08
  • You pasted the script itself, not the results of running the script. Please try again. – chili555 Aug 29 '18 at 18:46

This will not be a complete answer as I believe we will have to correct a few things and check again before we reach the solution.

First, we notice that you have a Broadcom wireless driver installed. Your device is a Realtek. Let's remove the incorrect driver:

sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source

Second, we notice that both Wicd and Network Manager are installed. New in Ubuntu 17.10 and later is networkd and netplan. Netplan clearly says NM is in charge. From your readings:

[/etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml]
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: NetworkManager

I recommend that you remove Wicd:

sudo apt purge wicd*

After doing so, tell us if this line remains in NetworkManager.conf

cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Does this line remain after removing Wicd?

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlo1

If it remains, we will need to edit the file to remove it.

Once these steps are taken, reboot and report back your result and we'll continue if needed.

EDIT: Please remove the keyfile section; from the terminal:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Remove this section completely:

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlo1

Save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and close (Ctrl+x) the text editor.

Restart NM:

sudo service network-manager restart

It might take a reboot. Any improvement?

  • [keyfile] unmanaged-devices=interface-name:wlo1 the line still remains – rohit deraj Aug 30 '18 at 04:58
  • Should i just delete these two lines? – rohit deraj Aug 30 '18 at 13:18
  • Yes, as I will suggest in an edit in a few moments. – chili555 Aug 30 '18 at 13:34
  • No improvements ... wifi in settings now shows unavailable instead of unmanaged. FYI For once wifi worked today then after reboot it didn't work ( THIS IS BEFORE REMOVING keyfile) . The network was not disabled at that time.. so there is a small probability that my wifi works if I keep rebooting again and again but why?? – rohit deraj Aug 30 '18 at 17:53
  • Instead of rebooting, does it work with: sudo service network-manager restart? – chili555 Aug 30 '18 at 19:12
  • No immediate effect ... sometimes changes after several hours. I kept my laptop on for a whole night now I get wifi again.. I am not sure if sudo service network-manager restart is the reason it is working now ... but I do remember using it – rohit deraj Aug 31 '18 at 02:01

  • The paste 'in working conditions' doesn't help us analyze what's wrong when it is not working. Please pull a wireless info when it is not and paste it and give us the link. – chili555 Aug 31 '18 at 14:50
