The first item listed is the one that I cannot seem to make work.

None of the network tools seem to see it.

I'm likely missing something obvious but need someone to point out what I'm missing.

I have a pci network card installed nut cannot get it seen.

I'm likely missing something obvious but need someone to point out what I'm missing.

Try this:


Open a Terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T), copy-and-paste the following command-line, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi; sudo modprobe iwlwifi

The wifi should appear within a moment or so.


If it doesn't:


With your PC online, open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T), click CODE:SELECT ALL to copy-and-paste the following as one block of text, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

W=wireless-info;I=/usr/local/bin;sudo wget -q -nv -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/$W/raw/master/$W -P $I/;\
cd ~/Downloads;sudo chmod +x $I/$W;$W>/dev/null;sudo apt install -y sysfsutils;(inxi -Fxxxrz;systool -vm iwlwifi)>>$W.txt;\

There's a somewhat lengthy pause as a detailed wifi configuration report is assembled, and finally a termbin.com URL will appear in the Terminal.

Post that URL in a reply here.


As you await a response, please read Forum Rules "How to Get Help!", and "How to Post Your Linux Mint System Information (inxi Report)".

Additional info.

Based on a thread I found over on Bugzilla it appears that the network adapter may only work in a PCIe x1 slot and not the x4-16 slots.

The computer involved does not have a PCIe x1 slot. I'll try to free up a PCIe x1 slot in one of the other Linux machines and see if the adapter works there.

You can try to use legacy interface name (eth0, wlan0 etc.) for network devices with following commands. Then reboot.

Code: Select all

echo 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX net.ifnames=0"' | sudo tee /etc/default/grub.d/net-ifnames.cfg

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub
