For those who do not know, I had this issue here [No wifi after hard freeze during AUR package installation - #14 by olividir](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/no-wifi-after-hard-freeze-during-aur-package-installation/33011/14) Which solved itself for some reason. This time, I was starting a game from Steam (which might be the reason for the crash), when the computer froze and I had to do a hard reboot. The driver is there, just won’t start for some reason ```auto lsmod | grep iwlwifi iwlwifi 491520 1 iwlmvm cfg80211 1118208 3 iwlmvm,iwlwifi,mac80211 ``` I have tried to log in on lts-kernel, which does not affect my problem at all. I have tried turning the computer off for a while and starting it up again (solution for last time) with no effect. Then I decided to check my Timeshift, which I have configured to take snapshots every day (so I could roll to yesterday when everything worked) just to find out that last snapshot was taken 24th of Oct. I am literally this close 🤌 to reinstalling the OS again… which I do not want to do because I have set this up as I want to. ```auto inxi -FAZ System: Host: ProX15 Kernel: 6.0.5-arch1-1 arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: GNOME v: 42.5 Distro: EndeavourOS Machine: Type: Laptop System: SLIMBOOK product: PROX-AMD5 v: Standard serial: Mobo: SLIMBOOK model: SLIMBOOK v: Standard serial: UEFI: American Megatrends LLC. v: N.1.06GRU06 date: 05/25/2022 Battery: ID-1: BAT0 charge: 91.6 Wh (100.0%) condition: 91.6/91.6 Wh (100.0%) CPU: Info: 8-core model: AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics bits: 64 type: MT MCP cache: L2: 4 MiB Speed (MHz): avg: 1776 min/max: 1400/4370 cores: 1: 1800 2: 1800 3: 1800 4: 1800 5: 1800 6: 1800 7: 1800 8: 1800 9: 1800 10: 1800 11: 1800 12: 1800 13: 1419 14: 1800 15: 1800 16: 1800 Graphics: Device-1: AMD Lucienne driver: amdgpu v: kernel Device-2: Chicony HD Webcam type: USB driver: uvcvideo Display: wayland server: X.Org v: 22.1.4 with: Xwayland v: 22.1.4 compositor: gnome-shell driver: gpu: amdgpu resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: RENOIR (renoir LLVM 14.0.6 DRM 3.48 6.0.5-arch1-1) v: 4.6 Mesa 22.2.1 Audio: Device-1: AMD Renoir Radeon High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Device-2: AMD ACP/ACP3X/ACP6x Audio Coprocessor driver: N/A Device-3: AMD Family 17h/19h HD Audio driver: snd_hda_intel Sound API: ALSA v: k6.0.5-arch1-1 running: yes Sound Server-1: PipeWire v: 0.3.59 running: yes Network: Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet driver: r8168 IF: enp1s0 state: down mac: b0:25:aa:4e:4c:5b Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi IF: wlan0 state: down mac: 5a:af:b4:8f:96:2c IF-ID-1: bnep0 state: unknown speed: N/A duplex: N/A mac: 14:85:7f:0a:6e:77 IF-ID-2: virbr0 state: down mac: 52:54:00:95:1b:d2 Bluetooth: Device-1: Intel AX200 Bluetooth type: USB driver: btusb Report: rfkill ID: hci0 state: up address: see --recommends Drives: Local Storage: total: 465.76 GiB used: 134.63 GiB (28.9%) ID-1: /dev/nvme0n1 vendor: Crucial model: CT500P2SSD8 size: 465.76 GiB Partition: ID-1: / size: 465.46 GiB used: 134.63 GiB (28.9%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 ID-2: /boot/efi size: 299.4 MiB used: 912 KiB (0.3%) fs: vfat dev: /dev/nvme0n1p1 ID-3: /home size: 465.46 GiB used: 134.63 GiB (28.9%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 ID-4: /var/log size: 465.46 GiB used: 134.63 GiB (28.9%) fs: btrfs dev: /dev/nvme0n1p2 Swap: Alert: No swap data was found.

> [@olividir](#): > > when the computer froze and I had to do a **hard reboot**. Hard reboot is not recommended at all on any OS. On Linux, you can [enable Magic Sysrq Key](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/tip-enable-magic-sysrq-key-reisub/7576) to get an option for nice rebooting when system crashed. > [@olividir](#): > > I am literally this close 🤌 to reinstalling the OS again… You’re not on Windows, must of the times you can find a solution for your issues without reinstalling the entire OS. Finally, your wifi device seems to be down, that’s a good point to start looking for a solution. ```auto Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi IF: wlan0 state: down mac: 5a:af:b4:8f:96:2c ``` ---

Just opened an iso to check the WiFi, and it’s not working. Might be faulty hardware. Will connect with Slimbook to get ideas on how to check it. ---

And again, just turned the computer off, this time for longer and now it just seems to work… super weird, I will have a talk with Slimbook about this behavior ---

I’m hoping by turned off you used the system rescue sequence this time. Please don’t hard turn off your computer. ---
