Wifi works ?

warped bluff
#

Yep

loud seal
#

This might be pretty stupid but maybe try connecting thru NetworkManager ?

#

nmtui or
nmcli c u wifiname

#

I very much think this is because of some conflict between ur wifi driver and virt-manager 's

warped bluff
loud seal
#

systemctl start NetworkManager to start it temporarilly

warped bluff
#

Nmcli just gives me error unknown connection

loud seal
#

do nmtui

warped bluff
#

Ehuh

This might explain somwthing

loud seal
#

its a module mismatch

#

module or whatever its called

#

simply nmcli

warped bluff

maybe you passthroughed your wifi card by mistake in the VM config?

loud seal
#

It should be easy, modprobe virbr1 to load it
modprobe -r virbr1 to unload

As for ur wifi card, assuming its device name is 'wl'
same thing

timber nimbus
#

or how modules...

#

virbr1 isn't a module, it's the name of a virtual NAT interface, you typically use the command ip to make/destroy those. and libvirtd does that automatically

loud seal
#

Yes I'm don't really understand how modules work.

solvargi received a thank you cookie!

timber nimbus
#

probably use virsh or virt-manager to manage that interface being created and such

#

to check what driver is loaded on your wifi card, use lspci -v

loud seal
#

nmcli | grep -i wifi | awk '{print $2}' works too yeah ?

timber nimbus
#

I think so.

#

it works rn on my laptop.
