Cannot connect to internet after installation

Continuing my issue from here, after installing tumbleweed I could not get any networks to show up and connect. The only time I could get a connection was during installation when it grabbed from the latest repositories. I looked around and tried out reconfiguring my network card since some people suggested that to others. I keep getting this error when trying to configure.

Here’s info on my wifi card for reference:

Hopefully others may know the solution off the top of their head.

However while waiting for such, can you send this command in a bash shell and provide here the output?
sudo journalctl -b | grep -Ei 'mediat|wlan|network|firmware'

You will need to figure out how to post it here given your PC has no wifi. Perhaps (if output long) take 2 or more images of the output, and post such here … or copy such to a text file, transfer the text file to a PC (or boot) that has internet, and then post here.

I believe that information may help in understanding better what is transpiring.

… and also, others on this thread may chime in with far superior diagnostic commands to run, and or a solution.

I looked and ask around before you made your reply. It was pretty simple actually. Network Setup Method was on “Network Services Disabled”, so I just switched it to “Network Manager”. Got a pop-up that said:

NetworkManager is controlled by desktop applet (KDE plasma widget and nm-applet for GNOME). Be sure it’s running and if not, start it manually.

I couldn’t find the applet it was referring to so I went ahead and applied the changes anyway and now I seem to be connected. So unless any other problems come up, my bad :man_facepalming: it was quite the simple change. Though thanks for the command anyway, may be useful in the future.
