5 years ago I had the same issue with a Qualcomm WiFi card for Fedora 28 -- 30. Installing linux-firmware on Fedora X template VM resolved it for me though.
- Modify sys-net to use the old Fedora template VM* so you can connect to WiFi
- Install
linux-firmwareon the newer Fedora template (28 -- 30) - Use the newer Fedora template for sys-net and test if WiFi works
- Fedora 27 and below worked for me
Hope this helps!
Qubes OS version Qubes release 4.0 (R4.0)
Affected component(s) or functionality WiFi stops working if template VM (fedora 29) is updated
Brief summary WiFi works fine when Qubes OS is installed but stops working on updating template VM (fedora 29), I reinstalled Qubes OS and made a backup before updating fedora 29 template VM but no luck it still doesn't work after updating fedora 29 template VM, I restored the backup fedora 29 VM and using same for WiFi. Currently I have both the fedora 29 template VM, the out of the box one and the updated one.
To Reproduce Update the fedora 29 template VM and try to use WiFi
Expected behavior After update fedora 29 template VM WiFi should work fine.
Actual behavior After updating fedora 29 template VM WiFi stops working
Screenshots I will attach it later
Additional context WiFi device name which appears in "Device" tab under VM setting is as below. "02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter" Let me know what I can provide, which log and where I can get it.
Solutions you've tried I installed fedora template 30 and used it as base OS for net-VM also tried all available kernels but no luck.
