Description jag 2018-07-03 21:37:00 UTC
Description of problem:
I upgraded over the weekend from F27 to F28. After upgrading, Fedora no longer recognized my wifi adapter. I rebooted, hoping that would help, and I couldn't get past the graphical login. I rebooted and selected the latest kernel from F27 and everything worked fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-4.17.3-200.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot up using 4.17.3-200
2. See graphical login - look for wireless connection in the upper-right
3. Try to log in by clicking a known user and entering the correct password.

Actual results:
There is no wireless adapter detected, and after successfully entering the password, I'm brought right back to the login screen after a few screen flickers.

Expected results:
I'm logged into the graphic desktop able to connect to WiFi.

Additional info:
I'm able to see the wifi adapter and log in successfully booting from the last F27 kernel I have installed, 4.16.13-200

lspci reports the wireless adapter as:
04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)

lspci reports the graphics adapter as:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M] (rev a2)

I'm using the binary nVidia driver from RPMFusion with Wayland disabled properly.

Still the case on 4.17.6-200.

Comment 2 Justin M. Forbes 2018-07-24 20:00:07 UTC
May or may not help the issue, Fedora does not official support the binary nvidia driver because we can't, but the workstation WG was working with https://negativo17.org/ for the nvidia driver. I have heard issues where their packaging worked well and the RPMFusion did not.

Comment 3 jag 2018-07-30 22:06:16 UTC
Thanks - the negativo17 drivers worked! But I'm still having the wifi issue.

Comment 4 Laura Abbott 2018-07-30 23:15:54 UTC
That looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1607092 which should be fixed in the newest kernels can you test that?

Comment 5 jag 2018-08-04 23:34:57 UTC
It works! Thanks so much!!
