Yesterday night I had a problem with a usb port and the touch pad not working, I restarted the system a few times and switched back and forth with windows (which is installed on a different drive), they didn’t work even there.After a few restarts the usbport and the touch pad came back to life, but the wifi stopped working. When I type wifi in the terminal I get: wifi = none (no device)
This time the problem is only on linux though.

Where/What should I check?

    So I assume this is not old info and the thing shows up in lspci?

    wifi seems to be a shell script coming from tlp, maybe you can do:

    sh -x /usr/bin/wifi

    to figure out why it thinks you have no wifi. This gives you a trace of the commands that wifi actually runs.

    Also, wifi should be managed by NetworkManager so you could look into that documentation and log files for that. Also look at kernel logs like dmesg maybe.

    Also also, this could be hardware problem of course. Maybe it just needs to be fully powered off to reset. Have you tried removing the battery? If you cannot do that, there might be little hole at the bottom of the laptop, to stick a paper clip into, to completely power cycle the machine. Maybe that’ll reset it.
