Hi

If you could access Windows and list the hardware it may help.

Also it is possible there is no equivalent Linux Driver, and NDIS wrapper may be a workaround.

The possibilities seem to be an Intel or a Realtek.

sudo ifconfig -a

sudo hwinfo --network

may give the name.

Then it would be a case of

sudo apt install wireless-tools

So if you can post the make & model ....

Hi

Perhaps

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-16.04

If not the Intel page is here...

and the drivers packaged here.
