I am having issues with the Wifi at my University. It shows up in the network settings, but when I try to connect it just keeps loading without ever connecting. I suspect this is an issue with my drivers, as the wifi works on my phone.

Under "Software & Updates", I have checked the box for proprietary drivers. However, the "Additional drivers" tab says that "No additional drivers are available" and "No proprietary drivers are in use".

ubuntu-drivers list and ubuntu-drivers list-oem return nothing, ubuntu-drivers install just says that "All the available drivers are already installed". I read that iwlwifi is the default driver for Intel network devices, but apt list --installed | grep iwlwifi shows nothing.

Does this mean literally no drivers exist for my network device? If its not the drivers, what other way would there be of fixing my wifi?

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 with a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 14IRL8. My network hardware is this:

sudo lshw -C network
  *-network

  • iwlwifi is included with the kernel. It is Intel, so it's free and not proprietary. Look in lsmod and lspci -vnvn – Daniel T Feb 10 '24 at 13:26
  • Your output clearly says: driver=iwlwifi. You have a driver. Are there multiple instances of the university SSID? nmcli device wifi list – chili555 Feb 10 '24 at 14:55

  • Look at the network logs with the terminal command: sudo journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager. Read man journalctl NetworkManager service. Also do: service NetworkManager status and service --status-all. – waltinator Feb 10 '24 at 15:10
