That's your local wired ethernet port,
      not the wireless.


      Check rfkill and hardware buttons, make sure they're not engaged
      disabling wireless.  Otherwise it could be some little pos device
      that isn't compatible (old ndis poop adapters).


      Do lspci and see if you get any other network adapter hardware
      there.

                any experience with this? Could someone help?


              this is all I can figure to do:
