Network card not enabled

I guess after some updates I now get this message and can't get on wifi. Tried below but no luck. Anyone have a fix?

It looks like your Wi-Fi interface (wlan0) is up, but it hasn't associated with any network yet. From the output:

Your wireless interface wlan0 has:
- ssid "" → which means it’s not connected.
- status: no carrier → not associated with an access point.
- The scan command didn’t return any networks, which suggests it might not be seeing any Wi-Fi networks.

1. Check if the Wi-Fi interface is actually working

Run: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo ifconfig wlan0 list scan

If list scan still shows nothing, your wireless card may not be communicating properly (could be a driver issue).

2. Try manually setting the SSID and password

Replace yourSSID and yourPassword with your Wi-Fi credentials:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 ssid yourSSID
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo dhclient wlan0

If you don't have a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file, you can create one like this:

sudo sh -c 'cat > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf <<EOF
network={
    ssid="yourSSID"
    psk="yourPassword"
}
EOF'

Check your /etc/rc.conf for wireless settings

Make sure it has something like this: wlans_wpi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

And /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf exists with correct credentials.
