Here's mine. As you can see, it lists the iwlwifi driver, but I don't see anything for yours. E: DRIVER=iwlwifi E: RFKILL_TYPE=wlan P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:02:00.0/net/wlp2s0 E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:02:00.0/net/wlp2s0 E: DEVTYPE=wlan E: ID_NET_DRIVER=iwlwifi E: ID_NET_NAME=wlp2s0 E: ID_NET_NAME_MAC=wlx0c8bfd0b67fb E: ID_NET_NAME_PATH=wlp2s0 E: INTERFACE=wlp2s0 E: SYSTEMD_ALIAS=/sys/subsystem/net/devices/wlp2s0 /sys/subsystem/net/devices/wlp2s0 E: RFKILL_NAME=ideapad_wlan E: RFKILL_TYPE=wlan Cheers, David.
