 says it hates your driver

probably should check the forums of whatever distro you're using for that device to see if anyone else has problems.  a google of the device name as it shows in lspci shows lots of folk with various fiddliness with like chips.

response with lspci output for wireless device would help.  maybe it's a known funky chipset.  it's probably in the wall of text somewhere, but lspci is a good tool for grabbing your peripherals.

My wireless card isn't working (never has). Could someone take a look and tell me what I need to do to get it to work? Here is a link to dmesg and  and /var/log/syslog:
 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZkeLVAytkRQW1q57YktgOh4lL8VbfDwa?usp=sharing

after inspecting the syslog I see that actually sees the wireless router but according to the gui there is 'no network connection' available. I believe things start falling apart around 7:1:20....
that was this morning! When I started it this afternoon the network starts initiating around 17:23:19. or another start was around 17:42:01

dmesg was a bit more helpful! (perhaps- look at the last line_
