[SOLVED] Fedora no longer making Wireless connection

I was screwing around in the bios and somehow changed something which I don't remember but it was more than enough to kill my wireless wifi connection to my computer.

My TP-Link wireless card worked until I changed something in the bios. I even set the bios to default settings and still Fedora is not recognizing the wireless connection as before but says the network is wired and that it is unplugged.

Can anyone help please.

My Wireless card is TP-Link and motherboard Biostar A880G+ - this is not a laptop but a desktop I built and the TP-Link Wireless device is a PCI card.

Maybe you shut off the wireless card?
There is a switch on my laptop that does that, and I thought it was a fedora issue.

Re: Fedora no longer making Wireless connection

If you had a Broadcom card, this would be easy. I would probably say to look in your BIOS for anything with Broadcom in the name. If you find it, make sure it's enabled. In your case, however, in theory, look for anything with TP-link in the name. If its there, make sure its enabled. Also, like mikee here said, it could just be a physical switch. On most laptops that I've seen, they're on the front, sometimes above the speaker.

Fixed my wireless problem......

Just removed the wireless card and rebooted the system. Waited for Fedora to do its things.

Then, I shut the system down and put the PCI wireless card back in.

Then, I booted the system on again. Now it sees my wireless card. )

Thanks.
