Configure WiFi At Install On CentOS Stream 9

Hi, I’m trying to install CS-9 and need to have WiFi setup on boot.

I’ve tried installing with KVM as a test but only get the choice of an ethernet connection at install time.

I’ve tried installing onto a spare laptop and it gives a choice of ethernet or WiFi for network connections. I choose WiFi and it allows me to configure the WiFi. It detects the network and the IP-address. However when I reboot the laptop there is no WiFi connection.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

Tony

  • I just installed CentOS Stream 9 on a workstation and hit a similar issue. For my situation, I did a minimal install, and in those cases, you may end up with a system that does not have the
    “NetworkManager-wifi” RPM (and required dependencies) installed, which prevents the WiFi connection from starting after the reboot. After I
    installed NetworkManager-wifi, wpa_supplicant, and a couple of other RPMs (manually, via RPMs on a USB device), the WiFi connection came up after rebooting.

    Not sure if this is your scenario or not, though. I’m kind of surprised that this is still an issue; I believe I hit this a few years ago but don’t have a bugzilla number for it.
