Hi all!
When I updated my system from Fedora 27 to 28, my WiFi stopped working.
Wi-Fi settings says: "No Wi-Fi adapter found. Make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on"
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 5548. My wireless card is Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
Thanks in advance for the help.
Here are some useful outputs:
$ iwconfig

I downloaded both firmware .ucode files from Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters
iwlwifi-7265-14.ucode iwlwifi-7265D-14.ucode
and moved them both to /lib/firmware/ and /usr/lib/firmware/
