Wifi/Ethernet not working

Hi all, I accidentally removed the network-manager in my Linux mint distro, then the wifi and ethernet didn’t work at all. How do I get back up

If you remove the network manager. I think you have to manually configure your wifi or Ethernet interface as long as you haven’t removed the network drivers.

Since you dont have internet you have to search commands to configure your system to get the internet again. Use your mobile to phone search commands to fix your internet.

இங்கே உள்ள தகவலை வைத்து பார்த்தால் உங்கள் இதர்நெட் டிவைசின் டிரைவர் சரியாக கணினியில் நிறுவப்பட்டு உள்ளது. நெட்வொர்க் மேனேஜரை மீண்டும் நிறுவி பார்த்தீர்களா? இல்லையெனில் இந்த கமாண்டை இயக்கி நிறுவி பின் கணினியை ரீபூட் செய்து பார்க்கவும்.

sudo apt install NetworkManager

அப்படி நிறுவியும் இதர்நெட் சரியாக வேலை செய்யவில்லை எனில்

systemctl status NetworkManager

Now USB tethering is working but i have some problem, the built in Wifi adapter support in Linux mint for my adapter has some bugs (that is, It turn off randomly which annoys me) so I decided to download supported version for my adapter from github (I actually did this in my previous zorin os) but I really messed up, even built in adapter is also not working what should i do?

இப்போது இதர்நெட் டிவைஸ் NetworkManager வழியாக சரியாக வேலை செய்கின்றதா? அதை முதலில் சரி செய்வோம் பின் வைஃபைவிற்கு வருவோம்.

systemctl status NetworkManager; ip address
