Look at the pci devices with lspci, grep for network devices:

>> lspci | grep Network

>> 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)

You should see a like device there, your new card. If it's not being detected properly, search dmesg output looking for an unknown device, might be a firmware thing or something. Dmesg should at least tell you what pci-id, vendor, or model of chip to then google why that doesn't load under your os.

I got two wireless cards (netis wf2118) for two computers. both computers have mint. One card is pci the other pci-e. the pci-e card works great. the pci not so much. the green connectivity light on the pci card is happily a solid green. Any ideas on how to get it to work?....

I just googled it and the one hit I got said he had a dead card. How can I tell if it is dead?
