Wifi not working with fedora 28 on surface pro 2
When I first install fedora 28 (kernel 4.16.3-301) on my surface pro 2, wifi worked fine. After the first kernel update (4.17.12-200) wifi stopped working. A subsequent kernel update (4.17.14-202) did not solve the problem. If I boot into the originally installed kernel (4.16.3-301) from the grub menu, wifi works fine. All other updates are applied, which suggests it is the kernel that is the problem. But that is the only way I can get wifi to work. I have tried other adapters, no luck.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I can confirm that the driver is loaded, and also that networks are found. I just can't connect to any.

Hi, can you provides us qith a
lspci
? No idea what driver/HW are you dealing there. You most probably just need to reload the driver. CheersNetwork Manager lists it as "Marvell Bluetooth and Wireless LAN Composite Device". I don't see it in lspci, but it shows up if I lsusb:
