Hello, I have a Pavilion laptop that I have re-configured to a Linux Operating System. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any wireless confuguration available, or it wasn't identified during installation. I have tried several flavours of Linux but all end up the same. Are there any HP drivers suitable for Linux? HP documentation all suggests that installing Linux is a feasible operation. Hopefully this does not nean it has to be hardwired to work?
Grateful for any advice / Assitance
Regards
Mike

Hi,
Can you post the output of this command here please??
sudo lspci
or
sudo hwinfo --short
Unfortunately not all wireless cards work of out the box and the drivers have to be installed manually.
