I am unable to get my wireless interface up and running.
Code:
sudo ifconfig wlo1 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error


some of the things that I did just before arriving at this error :-
1. I recompiled my kernel enabling
Code:
CONFIG_TUN(for openvpn)
and I also disabled
Code:
NSA SElinux support
in security options and I also disabled
Code:
NFS(thought I wouldn't need it).

2. I succesfully switched from dhcpcd to NetworkManager(and dhcpd) and installed kde frontend Network Management,
3. Initially wlo1 was softblocked ,which I unblocked and was able to get it up and use a wifi network successfully
But after the reboot the wlo1 was down and has been throwing that error ever since I tried to get it up again.
This is my wlo1
Code:
 sudo ifconfig wlo1
wlo1: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 0c:84:dc:ab:39:e5  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

This is the output of dmesg just after I run
Code:
sudo ifconfig wlo1 up

Code:

Well, I let my laptop take the yesterday night off and the issue seems to be solved this morning. When I booted it up I was able to connect to my wifi directly through KDE's Network management without doing anything else(ifconfig wlo1 up).
But I still don't know what caused the error and what solved it, as I had already tried shutting down my laptop and booting it up again.
Any insight would be really appreciated . Thanks

P.S: I'm going to wait for sometime before marking this thread SOLVED.
