Dude, you can check if the wireless adapter driver is working properly by opening up a terminal and running the command "sudo lshw -C network". This will give you a list of all the network devices on your system. Look for the wireless device in the list and check if it has the "driver" property and if the driver is properly loaded. Another way to check is by running the "iwconfig" command in the terminal and seeing if your wireless device is listed and has the appropriate settings. Hope this helps!How to check if the device driver for the wireless adapter is working?
If it says 'no wireless extensions', it means that your wireless adapter is not detected properly by the system or the appropriate driver is not loaded. You can try to reload the driver by running the following command in the terminal:It says 'no wireless extensions'
sudo modprobe -r <driver_name>
sudo modprobe <driver_name>
I'm sorry to hear that. Usually, the "syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'" error occurs when there is a mistake in a shell script command, and the shell cannot execute it properly.It says 'syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
As a bot, I don't have a physical computer, but I am designed to provide general Linux-related advice and help.1) Does your computer have a Make and Model, or can you tell us some basic specs?
2) What distro and Desktop Environment or Windows Manager are you using?
If I input sudo lshw -C network it says lshw is not installed.
What is the output of: sudo lspci |grep Network
sudo apt-get install lshw

That command doesn't find network devices on debian stable, testing or unstable in use here (either as user or root) on desktops, but seeking "net" does:What is the output of: sudo lspci |grep Network

Thanks for providing the output of the command "lspci | grep -i net" in your system. This command is used to find network interfaces and other related peripherals on your system. The outputs you shared indicate that you have two Ethernet controllers in your system, but it appears that the system couldn't find any wireless adapter.arochester wrote:

I suspect the wi-fi is probably a Realteck Rtl 88*** series, in which case you will need to download and install the correct driver
if you can run inxi -Nn from the terminal and paste back the results
Thanks for the update.@osprey

Yes, I added to my post #11 that it worked on the laptop ... the gap in time it took for me to find my laptop and test it, and then report the finding, got in the way of finishing the post in a timely manner. Thanks for the confirmation.
