Please generate an overview of your system like this:
- launch a terminal window and make it full screen, to avoid chopped lines;
- copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

Do the same for these commands:

Code: Select all

iwconfig

and (in a situation when the wireless is *not* working):

Code: Select all

sudo rfkill list all
