Small Atom sub-laptop cant see wifi

Post by macsrv »

I'm installing a little dual mode machine (tablet and laptop) based on atom.
It used to have Windows 10 but it suddently stopped working the microphone, after testing with a live Linux Mint that audio worked without problem I've returned to W10 only to get frustration.
Now I'm on latest Mint and I can't get Wifi to work.
As I read in one of th related posts:

JeremyB: "Great, one of those netbooks that have SDIO wifi cards"

So here is the most complete info I can give right now:

I'm using an old D-Link USB adapter (this netbook doesn't have ethernet)
I suppose that the chip used is: BCM43430/0
I executed the script JeremyB has in his signature, here is the URL it returned:

https://termbin.com/khvu

Please, can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance

According to your inxi report, it's a ralink rt2571w. Did you load any Broadcom drivers? Please post the results for the following command

Your internal wifi isn't showing in either output. Sorry, but I don't know where to go from here.
