Just moved house where I was using wired wifi for years. The networkmanager app had the wifi button. In the new place I have to use wireless as the connection is too far away.
The problem is when I booted up without a cable for wifi connected there is no mention of wifi in the networkmanager app. All it has on right click is ‘enable network’ & ‘enable notifications.’ How do I get ‘enable wifi’ to show up?
Maybe begin with something like system info;
inxi -Farz
(we have no idea what Desktop Environment you are using, what network card this is, etc)
Under ‘network’ inxi -Farz has —
Device -1: Intel 1211 Gigabit Network
Vendor: ASUSTek --
driver: igb --
v: kernel--
pcie: gen: 1 --
speed: 2.5 GT/s --
lanes: 1 --
port: e000 --

chip-ID: 8086:1539 --
class-ID: 0200 --

mac: <filter>
I am using xfce.
Its usually better to include all the output.
But nonetheless - that doesnt show any wireless card.

Then that would be my problem. DOH!
If I had typed all of the info it would have taken me hours. 
Thanks cscs. That will get me going.
Oh, yeah, you were transcribing, Doh. 
Good Luck with all the things.
Well I’ve just installed a asus pce-ax58bt wireless card. Problem is I have no internet. The driver I need, I think, is the broadcom-wl-dkms. So how do I go about getting it installed? I can run a cable for wired if that is the only way.
All sorted. I’m good to go.
