WiFi driver suddenly not working
I was having issues with slow WiFi due to power saving being on. When I was trying to turn off power saving via terminal, my computer just froze and I had to hard restart it. Now my wifi driver isn’t working at all and I can’t connect to the internet; I don’t even see ethernet as an option either. Although, the network still detected, their status is just listed as down.
Solution
so it turns out when I was trying to turn off power saving via wpa applicant, I accidentally typed things after a certain step and it was saved to a file in NetworkManager. I removed that line and now the network works
