Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 - CentOS 8 - Not working

[burgh16]

I have been searching this Forum but haven't been able to get my wifi working.

$ lspci -nn | grep -i net
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (4) I219-V [8086:15d8] (rev 21)
3a:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 [8086:24fd] (rev 78)

Output from command - nmcli - shows "sw disabled"

wlp58s0: unavailable
"Intel 8265 / 8275"
wifi (iwlwifi), E2:06:82:01:BD:56, sw disabled, hw, mtu 1500

Believe I have the right Firmware as shown
In /lib/firmware I see this file --> iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode

I used nmtui to ADD etc, file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-MYWIFI
trying to use DHCP for address

I found reference to rfkill and performed the following

[jay@CentOS1 firmware]$ sudo rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes <------
Hard blocked: no
[jay@CentOS1 firmware]$ sudo rfkill unblock 1
[jay@CentOS1 firmware]$ sudo rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no <-------
Hard blocked: no

Then brought up the interface using rfkill

[jay@CentOS1 firmware]$ sudo ip link set dev wlp58s0 up <-----

ifconfig shows UP

wlp58s0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

But still no IP Address assigned

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
