im pretty new to debian and linux in general, so forgive me if i've overlooked something obvious but ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks.
i got an hp prodesk 400 for free and decided to build it into a replacement for my isp-provided router, mostly as a learning opportunity and also because i wanted a better router. i added a second pcie ethernet card and m.2 wifi.
during installation, onboard ethernet, pcie ethernet, and wifi were all detected. installed using ethernet and upon normal boot the wifi adapter didn't seem to exist anywhere on the system. tried installing again using the wifi adapter and everything worked fine. all adapters, including wifi still existed upon normal boot.
networkmanager says im connected to wifi, but any attempt to ping websites results in "temporary failure in name resolution" the option to scan for available networks is greyed out. if i disconnect from wifi it does not give me any options to reconnect just says "disconnected" in grey. seems like one time it said "device not ready". rebooting returns things to normal.
occasionally on a cold boot if i log in immediately wifi connects, ping works, and i've even been able to scan for other networks, but this only works for about 30 seconds at most.
both ethernet adapters work with no problems.
internet searches are sending me around in circles, other people have had similar problems but there seem to be a dozen different solutions and now im just confused. thought i'd try asking for help directly because ive been trying to get this working for a while. i'd appreciate any help!
