Hi there, I'm running the newest mint on a hp envy. For some reason sometimes when i flip the lid back open, or restart the laptop or just turn it on in anyway really, the Wifi seems to be off. It is quite annoying!

I'm just wondering if its meant to be like that and if there's a easy fix for it!!

Cheers for the help!

Might be a BIOS issue as I found people with the same problem when running Windows on that computer

Wireless problems + network adapter disappearing after sleep + Batt...

Hello, I am writing this post to express my complete dissatisfaction and disappointment with my purchase. From the beginning on, I faced problems with the wifi connection since when turning the laptop on, it connected to the network for the first 10 minutes, then somehow automatically disconnected...

Have you disabled wifi power management?

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:31 PM

#

Keyboard lights would be handled in the kernel

#

What does iwconfig show

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:33 PM

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:36 PM

ill restart the laptop see if that changes anything

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 3:38 PM

#

Maybe try a shutdown and then boot

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:40 PM

#

will do

#

done that and no change

#

still showing nothing

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 3:46 PM

#

How are you enabling it after opening the lid?

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:48 PM

#

just clickig on the wifi icon on botton right hand corner and flipping the switch to on

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 3:48 PM

#

Did you install TLP?

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 3:49 PM

#

Im not sure what that is, so no lol

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 3:52 PM

#

Can you close the lid, open the lid, enable wifi, then run wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/jeremyb31/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && chmod +x wireless-info && ./wireless-info in terminal and then post URL?

Have you tried on kernel 6.14.0-37?

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:01 PM

#

No i havnt, how would i try that?

#

thanks for the help btw, appreciate it

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:04 PM

#

Might be just as easy to try 6.17 from ubuntu-proposed

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:06 PM

#

right, how would i do that lol, appolagise for not knowing much

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:06 PM

#

Open Software Sources program, additional repositories, click the add button, paste in deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ noble-proposed restricted main multiverse universe

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:08 PM

#

ok done that, anything else i need to do?

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:09 PM

#

Click the refresh button, then close Software Sources, then open Update Manager, view menu, Linux kernels and it should show 6.17 on the left side

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:11 PM

#

installing it now

#

#

what next?

#

I shut down and booted and now it's refusing to connect to any network

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:35 PM

#

Reboot and press ESC and it should bring up Grub menu, use Advanced Options for Mint, scroll down to the first 6.14 kernel and press enter to boot

type normal and see if a different screen appears

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:40 PM

#

Typed that and it said an error, then seemed to restart back to lock screen

#

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:42 PM

#

That is likely because of the Mint signing key in MOK

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:43 PM

#

Right ok, how can I fix it?

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:44 PM

#

That isn't a big issue, I see it on my computer

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:45 PM

#

Gotcha, but the issue of not being able to connect to wifi is still there

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:45 PM

#

Can you use USB tethering to the phone to get the computer online?

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:46 PM

#

Yeah I should be able to, how would I do that, just plug it in?

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 4:46 PM

#

Plug it in and go into connection settings on phone

#

Could download this on your phone and transfer it to Mint http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20250901.git993ff19b-0ubuntu1.4_all.deb

#

Find that file with file manager and double click to install. The firmware version for wifi changed in the 6.17 kernel and Ubuntu hasn't updated linux-firmware for this version yet

#

Intel must not be making newer firmware for my wifi as I installed the 6.17 kernel last week

dense spear Jan 17, 2026, 4:59 PM

#

ahh i see

#

i did that and the wifi is back, so that good lol

#

but issue of wifi turning off is still there

finite copper Jan 17, 2026, 5:02 PM

#

Lets try closing lid, open lid, enable wifi, then in terminal dmesg |tail -70|nc termbin.com 9999 and post URL
