No Wi-Fi Adapter Found

Hi,

I'm on ubuntu 18.04 kernel 5.3 laptop HP EliteBook 9070m and wifi is "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found".

How can I solve this?

Tks

Hi

My standard opening answer is normally...

When troubleshooting wireless, it's important that your system is fully updated by opening a terminal, CTRL+ALT+T. Using a wired internet connection, please run:
Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

and reboot if necessary.

If the issues persist, it is recommended that you install pastebinit, by running:
Code:  --   sudo apt install pastebinit

This will enable the wireless script to, upon your approval, upload the obtained data to pastebin, creating at the same time a link to it in your terminal, permitting you to paste it to a forum thread.

Once that's done, download and run the wireless info script, which will gather information to help diagnose your system. You can run it using this command:
Code:

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info

It will create the file "wireless-info.txt" at the location it is run from, and depending on its size, an additional archive called "wireless-info.tar.gz". If you prefer, you can post the file directly to pastebin yourself. Sensitive information like MAC addresses and WPA/WEP keys are masked automatically.

If you aren't able to connect to the internet with the affected system, including via a wired connection, just navigate to
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082305&p=12350385&viewfull=1#post12350385 using another device and follow the instructions there on how to the run wireless script without an internet connection.

AND

Make, Model and OS please.

Hi

SKU please.

ELSE

• If you're on the old style menus, Applications → Accessories → Terminal.
• Control + Alt + T.

That should open a terminal, then try some commands and try and pick out the Wi-Fi adapter...

sudo lsusb

sudo lsmod

sudo ls hw

sudo hwinfo

Until you give something helpful we cannot move forward.
