I have an ASUS ROG Strix laptop running Fedora 41, KDE spin.   It was working OK, though there were some screen issues.  So, I installed akmod-nvidia from rpmfusion.  All the screen issues cleared up, but I lost wireless networking.   There's no wireless device, it seems.  The networking widget just says no network connections available.  I tried pluggin in a Realtek usb wireless adapter, but it wouldn't work either.   In /var/log/messages, the USB adapter is recognized as a Realtek device, but that's about it.   I grepped  /var/log/messages for NetworkManager, and I find that it says it loaded with "success."

Is this a known issue with a simple solution, or do I have to reinstall and stick with the nouveau drivers?  As an aside, I have blacklisted the nouveau driver.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
