First check if the card can still be found (or ideally, if it still works) from a live CD or potential windows installation. Otherwise the card might have unseated out of its slot or totally broken. |

thanks friend,
this is the first output, no result:
root@laptop-giulia:/home/giulia# lspci -nn | grep -i broad
root@laptop-giulia:/home/giulia#
I tried with a live distribution and with another os with no result, so I think the wifi card is broken.
many thanks, let's go on another thread |
