Creating a wi-fi device

[Geoffrey Leach]

When Fedora 32 was installed on my laptop it did not creat a wi-fi device
(aka wlan0). How should I go about creating the appropriate device?

Thanks.

You can't create it.  It will be automatically created if the kernel 
sees a supported wifi device.  What device do you have?  Check "lspci" 
and "lsusb".

It could be as simple as installing a newer Fedora version.

There are often useful reports for other distros.  Search for mentions of
your laptop
model, linux, and wifi device (the same laptop model is often sold with a
variety
of wifi cards).   Does wifi work with Fedora 35 or 36 booted from a live
USB?
