<font face="Calibri">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I'm having a bear of a time getting my wireless card to work in a
Linux Mint 20.1 machine. The machine is my old dev box that I want
to re-purpose and requires wireless connectivity to my network
(it's in an area were hard line isn't available). This machine
dual boots to Windows 10 and all hardware works fine in Windows.
The wireless adapter connects to my network quickly and without
issue. When I boot Linux it looks to me like it's not able to find
the card. This card is a few years old, so it's not so new that
there shouldn't be drivers for it in the kernel.<br>
<br>
I did connect the computer via Ethernet cable today and did all
system updates, but still the wifi card doesn't work.<br>
As a side note, I've tried several USB Wifi adapters and none of
them work in Linux, but all work just fine when I boot Windows.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">The hardware is a PCIe
wireless adapter ASUS_PCE-N53. Below is the output from lshw -C
network. What does "network UNCLAIMED" mean?<br>
<br>
</font>Any help would be most appreciated.<br>
Thanks<br>
Peter<br>
