Network:
Device-1: Realtek RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet driver: r8169
Device-2: Realtek RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN driver: rtl8192se

Fascinating.

It appears this driver is current and works:

To Install:
Open terminal with ctrl+alt+t
then

sudo apt install git

git clone GitHub - FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver: This modified version of the RealTek WiFi driver fixes some issues with RealTek cards on Linux. && cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver && ./install.sh

Looks like i faced some error at the end. :frowning_face: This is what I got when I tried what you said.

Good news! :grinning: It looks like it got fixed. Everything looks normal now. I am able to see the icon and connect now. I restarted it 3 times and I was able to connect all 3 times. I will reply to this topic if this issue occurs again. Thank you all for spending your valuable time for helping me out.

Hello. It looks like the problem is still there. Is this an issue of core being too much for my device as I found out from @Aravisian from another topic ? And talking about that topic "Laptop locks itself again and again after being locked once" it looks like it got fixed.

The output of the above commands:

jeslin@jeslin-Satellite-L510:~$ sudo apt install gcc

Is there a wifi switch on the laptop ? fn + wifi key or a seperate key ?

28

unfortunately, no :frowning:

29

Hope this helps for you

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.
