Wifi icon missing and not able to connect

General Help
30

Hmm, the wifi key on the function keys is toggling the airplane mode

31

I could not find the find the rc.local file. I searched for it but couldn't find it.

32

So the issue stopped, then returned?
What happens if you run sudo systemctl restart networking in terminal?

33

Yes.
Here is the output of sudo systemctl restart networking

jeslin@jeslin-Satellite-L510:~$ sudo systemctl restart networking
[sudo] password for jeslin:       
Failed to restart networking.service: Unit networking.service not found.

Maybe it's:

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

35

is it supposed to show nothing after I enter my password?

jeslin@jeslin-Satellite-L510:~$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
[sudo] password for jeslin:       
jeslin@jeslin-Satellite-L510:~$
36

If it works, yes.
It will only give a message if something went wrong.

What this shows is that the network manager is working... If your icon vanishes and it drops out - then try that command.

This clarifies it is not desktop related...

Can you try this driver for it?

Install instructions included in the link.

Well now most of the options in the menu are unclickable.

That shows as the correct driver for your device;

Have you restarted the network manager?

47

Restarted network manager, but did not work. Restarting the laptop gave the problem a punch on it's face and knocked him off :facepunch: (I just mean that it solved the issue). Now I feel like there are more options in the menu.
