[SOLVED] No Wireless Network Driver in Lenovo Yoga => Download? How?

[Webcloud]

soo..
I downloaded linux mint....and everything else works for now....except for the network driver:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QUsDVj ... F4SYSNGPSj
as you can see, i just dont have a network driver

I basically have two questions:
1. how do i download the driver for my lenovo yoga 7 16-IRL-8, which already has linux mint installed
2. does/will the driver even work if/when i download it.

- the driver link in the manufacturer page is https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/prod ... river-list
- I have a PC with windows 11, and i have 2 Thumb drives with more than enough storage needed,
- is that how i would download?
- and what would i do (please tell step by step or give link that does) when i insert the usb stick with the driver into my laptop?

and about the second question, how would i know if it even works? is there a place to check? does a person know?

ps. please tell me what else to put if i need more information, i do not know how to ask questions

Get a temporary connection if needed: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c ... ernet.html
Then, install the 6.5 kernel in Update Manager, View, Linux Kernels & reboot.

Oh hello again, its morning now, which version should i download? 6.5. has -14, -15 -17, -18, -18, -21, -25, and -26; while the others(14-25) say “superseded”, the 26 one at the top says “Supported until August 2024”
