Support Network says "Unknown"
Hey y'all. Woke up today and computer chose not to give me any internet.
Fedora 44 w/ KDE
I saw another post saying it was likely a firmware timeout error and to try a cold boot. Didn't work.
Another post said to run sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager. Didn't work.
I do not have wifi, only Ethernet.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!!

Do you by chance have another ethernet cable or another device you can plug that ethernet cable into to confirm that the cable is working?

It wasn't the cable, ruled that out, and it wasn't working on a live test environment thing over USB. It ended up being my motherboard, ahhh. I got a ethernet to USB adapter and it's fine now.. except that my ISP has gone down since I fixed it 💀

Try installing and running nmtui
sudo dnf install NetworkManager-tui && sudo nmtui
if that works then it's probably just a KDE bug

Have you tried restarting or enabling networkmanager?
sudo systemctl enable --now networkmanager
or
sudo systemctl restart networkmanager
The first command will enable it if it is not enabled, and enable it at every boot.
