1) Run `dmesg --level err,warn`
Check for wireless related stuff
2) Some wi-fi drivers are in extra packages
I usually install this combo:
iwlwifi-mvm-firmware iwlwifi-dvm-firmware broadcom-wl
the drive I popped in is F35 and those firmware packages are not available.
But I installed the Broadcom-wl, rebooted and there is the wifi!
So on my way.
thanks for everyone's help!

I just got a used Lenovo x131e supposedly just missing its HDD.
Well I got plenty of HDD with old installs, not a problem.
Boot up (an old F35 disk) and no WiFi.
I check Bios and WiFi enabled. I put in a different WiFi card from
another system.
No Wifi.
I boot off the F41 Xfce Live CD, no WiFi and NMCLI does not list WiFi.
Any diagnostic tools to try?
Update the firmware to the latest before spending time on the kernel,
drivers and userspace configurations.
The BIOS/UEFI is just another buggy program that needs updating on occasion.
Good point. I *normally* do that on a system from ebay. Getting the
latest right now.
