| qwebirc67171 | hello, im quite new to lubuntu, reading off a website it said i need to enter lspci -nn -d 14e4: and lspci -vnn | grep Network these provide no output, im using a gateway laptop, and the wifi switch is turned on, can someone help me get wifi working? | 20:43 |
|---|---|---|
| genii | Sounds like your adapter might be internal USB | 20:44 |
| qwebirc67171 | was that toward me? | 20:45 |
| genii | Try lsusb instead of lspci | 20:45 |
| qwebirc67171 | thats for usb ports, im not seeking that information, im trying to find out my wifi ethernet card so i can get that working | 20:46 |
| genii | qwebirc67171: You misunderstand. There are many Broadcom and Intel wifi cards internal to laptops which are not attached to the PCI bus but instead work off of an internal USB | 20:47 |
| genii | So if your machine definitely has a wifi adapter, and it's not showing up on the commands which display the devices attached to your PCI bus, try looking at what's attached to the USB bus instead | 20:49 |
| qwebirc67171 | ok, i understand that, this is wat lssub ouputs https://pastebin.com/XPq0d6cA | 20:49 |
| genii | OK, so not showing there either. What does the output of: rfkill list ...produce? | 20:51 |
| genii | meh, work | 20:51 |
| * genii wanders back to work | 20:51 | |
| qwebirc67171 | i did inxii -nixx and wich puts https://pastebin.com/Ty5UuKyM | 20:53 |
| genii | The output of sudo lshw -C network would be more useful | 20:59 |
| genii | Also the output of the rfkill list command | 21:00 |
| qwebirc67171 | https://pastebin.com/uv6DsJqJ | 21:01 |
| qwebirc67171 | and rfkill list didnt output anyting | 21:02 |
| genii | sudo lshw -C network | 21:07 |
| genii | ...not just -C | 21:08 |
| genii | Also, use the sudo at the beginning | 21:08 |
| qwebirc67171 | https://pastebin.com/mQN3euir | 21:08 |
| genii | So your Marvell 88W8362e wireless adapter can't find a suitable driver. "*-network UNLCAIMED", line 19 | 21:10 |
| qwebirc67171 | im guessing. | 21:11 |
| qwebirc67171 | yes | 21:11 |
| genii | !info ndiswrapper-utils | 21:12 |
| ubottu | Package ndiswrapper-utils does not exist in bionic | 21:12 |
| genii | !info ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 21:13 |
| ubottu | Package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 does not exist in bionic | 21:13 |
| genii | Hm | 21:13 |
| genii | !info ndiswrapper | 21:13 |
| ubottu | ndiswrapper (source: ndiswrapper): Userspace utilities for the ndiswrapper Linux kernel module. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.60-6 (bionic), package size 19 kB, installed size 73 kB | 21:13 |
| genii | OK, the utils is now provided by just the ndiswrapper | 21:14 |
| qwebirc67171 | so linux cant help me? | 21:14 |
| genii | qwebirc67171: You need to install ndiswrapper, which can make use of the Windows .inf files for your adapter and let it also use whatever firmware the Windows driver has | 21:15 |
| qwebirc67171 | ok | 21:15 |
| qwebirc67171 | use synaptic? | 21:15 |
| genii | qwebirc67171: If you follow the instructions here you should be fine, but you don't need to install the ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 in the command given, just the others https://kevintechnology.com/2010/07/21/installing-gateway-m6755-wifi-drivers-for-ubuntu.html | 21:16 |
| qwebirc67171 | thank you for the help | 21:17 |
