Re: fossapup cannot find my wifi adapter
This is usually a missing firmware or kernel driver issue.
Because laptops have switches to turn WIFI on/off
See if it is turned on
To determine if it is Hard Blocked. In a terminal (console):
Code: Select all
rfkill list all
wlan0 is usually the wifi
If it indicates it is hard blocked.
There is a switch on the laptop that turns it off/on.
Press that switch and rerun
Code: Select all
rfkill list all
to see if it worked to stop the hard block.
If no help.
We need to know exactly what the WIFI hardware is identified as.
This topic, has the commands to enter in a terminal, to provide the needed information.

When we know exactly what the hardware is, we can probably provide what you need to add to Fossapup64 9.5
The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
