I just installed version 19.10 of Ubuntu, and after rebooting, the wifi symbol is not visible in the settings anymore. When I search for it, it says there is no wifi adapter found. I am very new to Ubuntu, and nothing I have tried seems to work. What can I do?
 


What is the output from a Terminal of
Code:
lspci |grep Network
and
Code:
lsusb
 
the output of lspci |grep Network is
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 2723 (rev 1a)
and the output of lsusb is

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Does your device have a an ethernet port. Run " ifconfig" and look for eth0?

Try both commands:

Iwconfig
Ifconfig

Iwconfig is for wireless connections
Ifconfig should show all connections ( ethos or enps0 will be wired, lo is loop back don’t worry about that one, and wlp3s0 would be a wireless connection)


What’s the output of them both
 
lspci is good, but
Code:
inxi -Nn
portrays the hardware better, and gives you info you can use to chase down the driver that you need.

the output of iwconfig is
lo no wireless extensions.

bnep0 no wireless extensions.

and the output of ifconfig is

How do I know what driver I need? It says driver: N/A
 
How do I know what driver I need? It says driver: N/A
First we need to know exactly what wireless chipset you have.
Then we can figure out which driver you need :)
 
And that's exactly what inxi does, it gives you clues. It shows you the same info as lpci or lshw do, but in a better presentation. Whoever wrote inxi deserves a medal, it's a great and flexible tool, and for a command line program has a great presentation layer.
 
well, inxi gives me

What "flags" did you use?
Please share the actual exact command used.
Try
Code:
inxi -F
 
ok, I used inxi -Nn, whcih gave me

the output of iwconfig is
lo no wireless extensions.

bnep0 no wireless extensions.

and the output of ifconfig is

it appears that the output of ifconfig is showing your bluetooth interface bnep0. its alllcoated an ip and appears to be up and running but sadly no wireless interface is picked up.

i think it could be a driver issue
