[20:43] <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?
[20:44] <genii> Sounds like your adapter might be internal USB
[20:45] <qwebirc67171> was that toward me?
[20:45] <genii> Try lsusb instead of lspci
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[20:49] <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
[20:51] <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
[20:53] <qwebirc67171> i did inxii -nixx and wich puts https://pastebin.com/Ty5UuKyM
[20:59] <genii> The output of sudo lshw -C network would be more useful
[21:00] <genii> Also the output of the rfkill list command
[21:01] <qwebirc67171> https://pastebin.com/uv6DsJqJ
[21:02] <qwebirc67171> and rfkill list didnt output anyting
[21:07] <genii> sudo lshw -C network
[21:08] <genii> ...not just -C
[21:08] <genii> Also, use the sudo at the beginning

[21:10] <genii> So your Marvell 88W8362e wireless adapter can't find a suitable driver. "*-network UNLCAIMED", line 19
[21:11] <qwebirc67171> im guessing.
[21:11] <qwebirc67171> yes
[21:12] <genii> !info ndiswrapper-utils
[21:12] <ubottu> Package ndiswrapper-utils does not exist in bionic
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <genii> OK, the utils is now provided by just the ndiswrapper
[21:14] <qwebirc67171> so linux cant help me?
[21:15] <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?
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <qwebirc67171> thank you for the help
