Re: Wireless connection is lost
Does other devices connect to the wireless? If yes use this command in your terminal to see if your OS sees the wireless card - copy and paste
lspci | grep -i wireless
This is from my laptop - you should see something similar
Aspire-E5-575G ~ $ lspci | grep -i wireless
03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)
If you do not see anything then your card may have died
