Lenovo Yoga wifi adapter not working on Ubuntu
26 Apr 2024
I recently bought a Lenovo Yoga 7 and installled Ubuntu on it. To my great frustration the wifi doesn't work out of the box and finding a working solution took some time.
I made this guide, because I'll inevitably end up in the same situation again and waste a few hours fixing it all over again without the guide. So if you have a Lenovo Yoga 7 and installed Ubuntu (or some other distro) on it, this is how you fix it.
How to fix the issue
Install the rtw89pci package. Instructions go like this:sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git
git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git
cd rtw89
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtw89pciYou might also enjoy
