Issue with WiFi on fresh Bazzite install

I’m hoping to get some help here. I finally took the plunge and installed Bazzite to a spare drive, and during the initial installation setup I was able to connect to my wifi. After booting up for the first time I noticed it said no connection. I see the wifi device listed, but I don’t see anyway to connect. It doesn’t find any networks. I’ve searched around but haven’t found any solutions yet, and I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I greatly appreciate any help here, and I’m happy to provide any further information if necessary.

Okay, so, first off, I really appreciate the comments on this and those that took their time for it. As of now I am connected to my network and everything appears to be working. What’s odd though is I didn’t do anything. I powered it up when I got home, signed in, and had a wifi icon in the bottom right this time, where I found my network and got connected. I had already ran a few shutdown/restarts since installing Bazzite, but apparently this one worked. Now I just have to hope it stays that way. Thanks again!

Also, this was using the built in Realtek wifi on an Asus B550M motherboard if that helps anyone.

Check if you have a broadcom adaptor. They have to be enabled manually as they screw with other wifi drivers

How would one check and enable that?

There is a ujust command for it. You can see the model with lsusb (if it is a stick) or lspci (if it is a card)
