Hi! I have a really weird situation with my wifi device on an old Thinkpad t420 : i have no network device but the device seem fine in lspci and the iwlwifi driver is loaded. There is not hardware problem as i tried a knoppix and it works without problem. One small quirk is that the ssd+os is transplanted from other station to this laptop, but i would have expected for the wireless device to be at least discovered
Any idea what is going on? Why i do not have it in ip addr output? rfkill show only bluetooth type devices
Thanks! Adrian

I would suggest trying a Fedora live boot to make sure that it's not something in the transferred os.
What is the lspci output for the device? Check "journalctl -b" for any messages related to the wifi.
