To give some context what I want to do is use my old Dell Latitude E6530 laptop to host a game server for friends, I can’t have it connected to ethernet so I need it on Wifi, first thing I did was installing Fedora 39 w/ KDE Plasma, enabling SSH, did some experiements, rebooted and all was good, then after I installed xRDP for remote desktop and everything worked just fine, did some experiments on remote desktop and was all good but when I rebooted this time WIFI stopped scanning for networks.

Having that context, now I’m trying with Kubuntu 22.04.4 since it has working WIFI drivers for my laptop which Fedora didn’t and was extra work when formating, this time I didn’t use xRDP since I figured that was causing the issue so no I opted for simple SSH+FTP combo to manage the server. I installed openSSH-server again and tested, it worked great (rebooted and all), next I installed VSFTPD and tested again and WIFI did work, all seemed good but when I rebooted same issue happened, it shows Wifi enabled but it is not scanning for networks.

I’ve tried A LOT of different fixes, which includes custom rules using .pkla (tried .rules the first time with Fedora), reinstalling NetworkManager, removing VSFTPD, reinstalling wpa_supplicant, intalling RPM fusion repos, checking everything is updated, checked NetworkManager status and is active, I don’t know what else to try at this point.

Can’t post the logs since this gets tagged as spam, will try in the comments, any help is appreciated.
